These are the remaining 4 pictures.
Re thread #12 great photos of a historically famous unit - this person could be a serious listener,notice the egg crate treatment used on the wall(30 eggs per,metric)
Wonder what's behind them? Maybe the floor should have some carpeting or rugs. I would like to see & hear close up.
Well I got the thing home. Unfortunately the woofer was wrong, fortunately it was still a pretty good unit from the 40?s (IPC lu-1004). Strange that someone would swap out one 40?s vintage woofer for another. Man would I like to have seen the collection of gear that spawned that marriage. The horn is urethane but too good to cut up. I never realized but the h-808 has veins running back to the mouth of the horn.
The 810 is an interesting thing. The horn flairs are separated from the main volume by ridged insulation and there is either a partition below the vent or another space separated by insulation. I won?t know until I pull the bottom portion of the back tomorrow but it seems that it is a full partition.
Here are a few quick photos of what I found. Better will follow tomorrow and I will get going on the drawings.
Looks like I can only attach one photo per post so I will try a follow up
Looks like the rest of the photos are to large. Here are direct links

Just copy and paste the IMG code at Photobucket. I'll upload a couple of your photos so you have an Idea.When you upload all the photos select all photos(Check Mark) just go to the bottom of the page where it says "Choose Action" when you do it will have a drop down menu.Click on generate link codes.Down in the middle it will say Full size codes just click the center of the box and it will copy them all. With just a few clicks you can post all your photos at once.Should look like this Marty.Click IMG full size for bulletin boards and forums.
Hope this is helpful Marty !
Looks like the driver mounting flange is cracked around the holes.
You're lucky, keep all the units-IPC means International Projector Corp. (SIMPLEX) wheh they bought enough Altec or other speaker manufacturers would label to suit.
IPC part No LU1004. So speaker could be Jensen, Stephens,Lansing,RCA etc. Don't discard but carry out more investigation.The composite horn I had was just like yours, only difference is colour, yours either painted or original grey removed.Does it have the original wooden horn sled?Your system is P.M types with Altec N800 X/over.Did the HF unit have a gasket,I see the horn flange cracked at both mounting holes, be careful.
So does the basket....... what little of it I can see.

The woofer looks like Jensen manufacture in person too all but the paint anyway. There are no numbers but IPC numbers visible. The magnet at least 50% larger than a p15LL and the cone seems unusually deep. Tomorrow is full documentation day, I’ll get better pictures then.
Best, Thanks for the help posting the photos. I want to do PDFs for the drawings. Is there a good way to upload those? I did links in the past to free hosting sites for the drawings I did in the past but those free service links don’t seem to last too long.
Kinomat, the horn is grey, the lighting in that part of our shop is awful. I do have the original sled for the horn. There are a few cracks and chips in the horn but they look easy to repair.
