    I find lots of web sites like that. I've never understood the point of them. The site in question doesn't seem to have any ads to get paid for, so I don't get it.

    Re: Altec stuff

    So, what's the true value of all that stuff worth, one half? ($1000 for a pair of $2000 A7-500's.) I guess my (kind of) A8 clones for $400 was a bargain?

    VH,
    Their not making them anymore. They sound incredible and they can be rebuilt.
    No ones making anything better, even for a lot more money than that. 2K for a nice set of A7's is a steal.

    As ever, and earnestly, just what someone will pay for them, and/or pay to ship them. Otherwise, so much depends on location.

    I've got 4 great A5/828-G cabs (iirc), but every time I think about letting them go, the second thought is 'well, it's a pretty limited market'.
