420-Y Biflex with mounted tweeter?

[voice of the theater]

Seller claims this tweeter is factory mounted. I've never heard of a 420 with a factory mounted tweeter--did they ever come from the factory this way? Could a previous owner could have mounted this tweeter? If factory mounted, would this have been sold in a cabinet/speaker system/what Altec system? BTW, price seems way too high....

That is precisely what 420Y is, a bi-flex with a coaxially mounted cone tweeter.

They came stock in model 870's and in some 872A's(Madrid).

I agree, his price is about the top of what they bring in the peak selling season which we're about 180 degrees opposite of.
