badtoby--Ron SSS is selling a pair of Model 19 crossovers in our classified section (N1201-8A). Hope this helps......
How are the 19's coming--any progress or pics?
Looking for a set of xovers as I don't want to make them.
So, you've got the stock 19 cabs and 416A woofers, did you pick up 811b's or h.f. drivers yet? Any progress on the cabs? I'll keep an eye out for Model 19 crossovers for you.....
Ron has a set for sale, like voice stated!
Yeah, post a want there. I know at least one member may still have some nice 800hz horns available (though not 811b's, you might like them better!).Quote:

Maybe he'll give you a "deal" on two of them? He recapped them with Sonicaps. Anyone ever heard these? (he is also including the original caps with the sale)
Not bad prices on the woofers either (probably 416-8B)--a shame someone painted those poor cabinets gloss black!
Yeah that is $200 each, so for the XO's $400 a pair way too much IMO.Last few pair sold for between $150-$250 on that auction site. Yes I'm recapping a set right now with Sonicaps.I just sent them to Dave Wojo. :smile2:Quote:

Badtoby--you mentioned in the new GPA thread that you've bought a pair of N1201-8A crossovers. What's left for your Model 19 restoration project? Do you have all the drivers/horns ready to go? Have you powered them up yet/any observations or pics to share?
Still looking for the 802's and my old wood working buddy,He's gone under the radar so if I get the 802's first I will throw them together just to hear how they sound. Was chasing some nice ones on ebay that had 511's but they ended while I was on my way home from the Van Halen show.My phone would not let me bid for some reason. If I can't find any with the original diaphragms the GPA's look like the way to go.
If it were me, I'd definitely order the GPA drivers. If the guy down in NC wasn't such a wanker, I would have gone and picked up his cabinets and I'd be getting the GPA drivers for them and having a pair of 19's for my man cave. So, I'm still on the hunt for a pair of decent cabinets. If they don't show up by winter time, I might try to build one and see if I can handle it.... I'm sure it is NOT trivial.
There's a pair of 802's now on ebay.. Not a great deal though.. Foilcals look faded but not a big issue..The Frams look to be in nice shape though lead wires from the photos look good..

Thanks AB, Looking at the second photo of the diaphragms is that a crack next to the dome at say 1 to 2 o'clock? Hard to tell for sure could be lighting.
I'd definitely go for the pair with the loose tangerine. The other pair is at a pricepoint where i think it makes more sense to buy the new GPA drivers, IMO.Quote:

What type of wood are you using for the veener for these cabinets?
I like how to you changed the port hole so that there is an official left / right speaker. I like that. I recently made a set of Altec Model 19 cabinets from scratch and wish I would have done that.
Keep up the good work.
Did you look into doing any bracing of the cabinets? It's hard to see in those pics, but looks like they don't have much/any bracing.Quote:

Beautiful. Oil or varnish?
There will be no grill covers for now....The wood is Cerejeira crotch, really bold patterns with clear varnish bringing out the brown earth tones as well...The cabinets are made of Baltic birch plywood with superior joints, the only bracing the stock cabinets had was a 2 x 3 (?) across the back potion of the bass reflex cabinet. I will explore how to best brace these later. I intend to modify the 811s (remove the welds on the sectoral fins/dampen them, and use 802 8gs. I have a set of 416 8bs and I have ordered a set of GPA 1200HZ crossovers. I may recap a set of stock altec 19 x overs (any recommendations on someone that can do this would be great!) as well. I and am curious what dampening material (fiberglass?) and how many sides of the reflex cabinet were dampened in the stock 19 cabinets (any suggestions for better material than fiberglass?). Anyway, I am hoping to finish the model 19 project over the next few weeks, then start on a set of 604 8gs in KOA wood Stonehenge V cabinets (thanks to Todd White for the PDF plans). CurtQuote:

Thanks,
