    Vintage Site

    Is it just me or did our wonderful friends at A.L.T. remove the vintage products page from the website?

    Looks like they have a whole new website. I don't see the old stuff at all, either.

    Re: Vintage Site

    Very fresh happenings, the "old" site was still in my browser cache.

    As has been discussed here before, there wasn't really anything there that isn't duplicated elsewhere in the web. However it was well indexed and made it very easy to find specific documents. I'll miss that convenience.

    That said, y'all should have archived most of the pdf's by now given the past glitches and hints that this day would ultimately come.

    IT STILL COMES UP FOR ME !! I see now if you do a new search it is gone !

    They are talking about Altec Lansing Technologies. Not the Altec Pro website with all the PDF's .They stopped making the A7 over a year ago or so... At $5800 a piece who would want to pay that ! They priced them so high to ensure nobody would buy them, it was all a marketing gimmick IMHO ! It just brought Folk's to their website.

    I have all of them if you need any ! I have every pdf on that site now and then some.

    Re: Vintage Site

    So, what the heck happened?

    Did they just reassign the web address?

    The bookmark that's been taking me to the vintage product pdfs for weeks, and as recently as yetsterday no longer does so, i expect this is the same issue the other fellas are having.

    Do you suppose this might also have been necessary or advantageous for them to maintain their rights/copyright to the VOTT name?

    Re: Vintage Site

    Interesting the direct link works. When I Googled for Altec Pro last night, and found Altec Lansing (or whatever) it would re-direct to the current Altec website. Now, I see that it's the www that makes the difference. Altec Lansing gets me re-directed to Altec Lansing. altecpro.com goes to altecpro.com.

    I sent several messages to ALT last night and the person responding basically acted as if I didn't know what I was taking about...... and seemed

    Also...... reading the consumer website, I think I may have missed a change. Altec/Sparkomatic used to be in Milford, PA. I'm aware of the Plantronics purchase, and I beleive I heard that they were later divested. In the Carreer's section of the Altec website, they mention being located in San Diego. I'm thinking the current company may be yet another new Altec, and mostly unrelated to Sparkomatic........ leftovers after being dumped by Plantronics, or something........ and maybe not even in control of the Pro website.

    Finally, I see that the current Altec is Altec Lansing, LLC. I think they had dropped the T (Technologies) awhile back, so I'm not sure if the LLC is a recent change or not.
