802-8g

[badtoby]

What are 802-8g's worth? As some of you may know I'am trying to put together a pair of 19 but now i'am having second thoughts regarding the price of admission and the lack of crossovers.

If we could do 3 inch letters here would say one word

RIPOFF


$400 is tops. Not in a hurry can probably get for 300. Have seen horns and driver sets for 300.

808B with aluminum frame is 802G spec. And can recover something for the old 808 frams.

Crap cabinets but for 1500 this is better than 1200 for drivers

RIPOFF!!!

He's another of those high pricers. He generally accepts on offer about 1/3 to 1/2 the price.
These however, are just a ripoff!

I sold my pair to a forum member (MattVandyke, hey Matt!) for $300. I bought them new in 1977.
But then I'm a nice guy.
Handsome too.

There was a pair of the 23744 diaphragms sold about a month ago for $300. Figure in about $120-150 for 80x Tangerine bodies. There should be your price.

I would just wait for a pair to come up on craigs for between 1250 to 1800 within 400 miles of your location. Make sure they are in very good condition though. I purchased mine in almost mint condition with custom copies of the original crossovers with pretty expensive parts, original crossovers untouched and fully tested and remaged by GPA. I payed 1500 plus 500 for shipping. Shipping was on the high side because of all the layers of protection I insisted they provide, 7 or 8 layers of packaging materials. I have already been offered 2500 for the pair without the custom crossovers. Model 19's are a good investment and will rise in value, if they are in good shape. Good luck with your search, just be a little patient......

He's already got Model 19 cabs and 416-8A woofers--he really only needs the 802-8G's and crossovers (don't remember if he has 811B's yet).

Badtoby--stay the course. Once you hear the finished product--you'll be glad you were patient. I agree that $700 is a rip off. According to Magnarc "He generally accepts on offer about 1/3 to 1/2 the price." So I'd give him a shot with a reasonable offer (reasonable for you, not necessarily for him!).

In this link that OG posted: ALTEC LANSING - MODEL 19 - Custom Cabinet Enclosures - Vintage the seller says "Components only, without cabinets, $1300. Will entertain offers, but be nice, no low balls. Contact by email or 415-706-5325."

I'd consider making him an offer for just the 802-8G's and the crossovers. Remember, the N1201-8A crossovers ARE Model 19 crossovers with a part number instead of Model 19 "label" on them. I'd make him an offer and try to convince him that he can easily sell those woofers on ebay or CL for good money (you wouldn't be lying). Not to mention, those crossovers and 802's should be cheap to ship compared to woofers and cabs etc.......
