    Re: "Very Vintage Altec Speaker"?

    Dang...I have one of those and I was watching that auction, then it disappeared as no longer for sale.

    I didn't see it come back up.

    It actually uses a 756B, the 10" version of the 755A, so to speak. This is an 8 ohm version of the WE 756A that only appeared in that speaker as far as I know..

    I really need a second 756B.

    I might even pay $1150 for another Melodist if the auction closes around the time I get my check and I don't spend all my money on crack! Altec is getting priced up beyond my social class.

    Those 3000A tweeters are getting crazy expensive too.

    what the seller said,

    from the ad -


    Thanks for all the offers to buy it now!
    This is why I cancelled last auction and re-listed.
    The high buy-it-now price will allow me to review all the offers and then make a final sales decision.
    Once again, THANK YOU!

    35

    wouldn't mind having a couple (hundred) of these myself ...

    Yes I was going by 8" as the seller claimed, but if it's 10" then yes it would be a 756B..
