I don't recognize it, unless it's a dressed up 606 cab.

Dims are closest to an 820's shell which has been used as a simple corner reflex when a HF horn is used, though never seen a factory model number, so assume the ones I've seen were special order, but exposed hardware through the grills scream DIY, so short of proper manufacturing docs, it's just a well done DIY effort to me with no collectible value.

+1 on the DIY. Doen't look like any factory manufactured Altec cab that I'm aware of.

Not only that but the only true Altec item I see in the pictures is an attenuator knob. He won't garner a very fair bid with out showing the actual merchandise.

IMO, the cabinets are modified or custom build version Jensen/Brociner corner horns.

Something like this ?

Precisely, referring to the working drawings, not the first photo.

Some of the Brociner branded cabinets are much closer in terms of cosmetics.

AHHHHH but a significant difference. Those are based on , and perhaps even licensed under a PWK patent for the fully front loaded K horn. The jensen is actually a back loaded design. Very similar in appearance, less so in function.

If you really want a premium K-horn, check out the Vitavox licensee of the K.
