AA you snagging them or is Bowtie ?

I'm guessing these are from "The Uptown".

Seems the seller wants to keep the system together, AND realize ebay pricing. Eventually, he'll have to "pick one" and live with it.

I'd possibly have been a LOT more interested in the system that preceded this one. Wonder what was removed in the 70's when this stuff was installed.

Note that those are later 34 inch wide cabinets that will accept the newer 16 inch frame drivers.

Apparently the ad was flagged, probably the lack of a price.

I posted the text and pics here: AudioKarma.org Home Audio Stereo Discussion Forums - View Single Post - Altec Lansing Voice of the threatre A4 (utica, ny)

Sometimes an interested potential buyer flags a CL posting to cut down on the competition--unethical but it happens....

Some flippers will do anything. I have seen fights at estate sales over stereos

I'd love to have a pair of those, actually. But, since I'm not heading to Upstate NY until sometime this summer, and the van I take won't prolly be able to hold two of those, I'm prolly out of luck...I really would like a set of A4s sometime. Might even displace the Ws.... :-O

Here's the original ad pics, these indeed came out of the Uptown Theater in Utica, NY: A4s1

And here's the empty cabinets in my garage, there were a total of 6 horn sleds, figure 3 cabinets went the way of the dinosaur. One will likely go to Analog Addict. The remaining pair will go into dry storage for a year or two until my new mancave takes form, then i'll put them back together, and hopefully enjoy a large format system for several years to come.

Nice! So is the seller putting the components on ebay, or did he sell them already? What about that folded horn?

Didn't the ad say that two were used for their plywood? The AK link with the text is bad, and I couldn't find the thread on AK myself.

I wish I could find something locally on this level.

The whole lot was sold to one fellow, and IMO he paid fairly for them such that all involved parties will be happy. Ironically, he is from out there in the "lake states", we'll let him remain anonymous for the time being. The components are a bit mixed, all original 515's, some labeled IPC, all have pristine original cones w/matching cone numbers. There were 3 tar filled 1005's, a tar filled 805, a tar coated 1005, and a 511 with an 802 on it, 4 288B's, 2 N500-C's, 3 500hz IPC networks, a spare pair of 515's, and a few 412 bi-flex's in wall boxes.

Do you have any wings for these Bowtie ?

I asked about wings, there was no sign of them, they were likely scrounged for the wood. The two cabinets that were scrapped for the plywood actually went into building a small stage in the theater. So, in a sense those cabinets will remain on duty serving some sort of function, and be part of that theater for some time to come.
