    Waste of time and money ????

    I noticed a pair of 409-8D's for sale on ebay. The demo u-tube clip sounded nice. Would it be worth while to build small enclosures for these?? vented or sealed? I realize these were designed as ceiling speakers but thought I would check with the pro's on the idea. Thanks.

    How much money? At 20 bucks each, fine, at 75 each no way. They make nice surround speakers for HT.

    My druthers? 405's or 803 with a better tweet. The (I suspect) CTS tweet in that unit is OK at best.

    Anything that says Altec on it brings money in Japan.

    See if this guy will ship, maybe offer to buy them all. Seems to have original boxes..? If so shipping is more palatable
    (if interested in this flavor of 409 that is)

    8" Speakers *** Brand New

    8" Speakers *** Brand New - $25 (Bel Air)
    I have 6 brand new Altec Lansing 409ST 8" speakers brand new still in the box. They have never been used. Here are the specs on the speakers.....http://databank.musicpeopleinc.com/specsheets/9714.pdf
    Willing to sell 1 at a time or all 6 together.
    Make me an offer........443-XXX-XXXX

    OT Image codes- follow up

    AB please feel free to move this to the other thread. My view only shows recent posts and I can't get search to bring it up.

    One of our helpful denizens posted:

    "> Right Click on the Image ( of interest ) at the other site ( webpage ) .
    > Choose, "Copy Image URL" from the menu .
    > Come back to this site & open the text editor.
    > Paste the "friggen" URL ( belonging to the image ) into this sites text editor .
    > Write forums after the URL
    > Now look at the original picture in it's proper, glorious size ."

    Being so lazy I likely won't show up for my funeral, it occurred to me, when writing just copy and paste this:

    forums

    Open the picture in another tab or window, right click then copy image location (this copies its URL)... place cursor in center of above and paste....

    What you did works fine, I was thinking the image thread but it wouldn't come up in search even with several keywords...Hmm- is it OT threads that are excluded in search?

    Thanks!

    AFAIK it is still this garbage search function here that is the issue... What thread did you mean ? I can still move it to that one ? It's only a couple clicks.
