SUPER clean VOTT's Austin, pricey but gorgeous

[Altec Best]

You're mis-understanding........... I never said they weren't restored. New paint, yes a restoration*. Nice stickers, not a restoration necessarily.

I'm misunderstanding ? Don't think so ! New paint yes restoration,not necessarily a restoration ? Sounds like a lot of double talk is it or isn't it ?

A cabinet that's been sitting undisturbed in a theater can still have nice stickers. The cabinet I bought from Studio 28 had a hole burned in one side, something heavy enough to crush it, fall on it, and it still had one nearly perfect sticker.

1 perfect sticker and 4 perfect stickers are really 2 different things are they not ?

I'd probably call a re-paint, a re-paint, and not a restoration since a restoration could involve much more.......

Your entitled to your opinion as I am with mine ! If you look at the very bottom it said IMHO !

but I wouldn't argue that point with anyone on something as simple as a speaker. It's not like a car.

I wouldn't argue that point with anyone ? Hmmm Really ? So your saying simple things can't be restored just dressed up to look pretty ?

FWIW- I never seen a VOTT cabinet that was sitting in a theater for 30-50+ years that came out looking like that not a scratch on them.No dust,dirt,grime,gouges,scratches,nothing. 4 perfect stickers,could it happen absolutely however unlikely ! Just a lot of little things to me would suggest they have been apart.For instance the back of the horns are scratched up but not the cabs ?The wood mounts have T-nuts were there shouldn't be one.So IMHO,they have been taken off and flipped over probably when the cabs were repainted/restored.

For the age, mine are pretty nice. I doubt they were ever in a theatre. A few nicks, but never beat up. these are the ply versions.





Decals are original. The dust is aftermarket.

Never mind, I'm not going to argue with you over something I never meant to imply.

Who's arguing ? You quoted my opinion (IMHO) Not me quoting yours !!! I have no doubt we will always have a difference of opinion no matter what we talk about.I will say half full you will say half empty,that's a given !


Have a Happy New Year ABG !

I assure you, it was totally unintentional...... kind of like when you have a dream where all of sudden you find yourself standing naked in public and wondering, "What happened??? How'd I get here???".

Yes, I've had that dream....... no, I don't want to know what it means :-)

[Altec Best]

Well Anyhow ! Just heard from Zach. New paint and Decals ! Components are original ! I just new those decals were new !

Hey John!


Happy New Year to you as well and thanks for the kind words!


Basically just paint and decals. Everything is original. The wires are just not in those pics. The cabs are equipped with the 809-8a crossovers and there is a cable that comes out the back that connects to the driver.

Let me know if you'd like to come take a look.
