I'd wager there is no Altec there.

I might also lose my wager.

But, my WAG is that is a Jim Lansing Signature H-1000 horn, probably a 130 in the bottom.

I should recognize that diamond logo, but my feeble mind cannot make a connection.

"Tru-sonic" appeared in a diamond, did Stephens make anything that looked like that?

No Altec expert here, just figured that it was a very old model.

Looks like a young model, to me, but she is probably a great grandmother by now.

No expert here either SD.

However, it occurs to me that the small format multicells made by Lansing and Stephens are more readily/easily mounted thru a baffle opening than the Altec 808.

Then we have that diamond shaped logo on the cabinet.

I think it's a Stephens Tru-sonic, still a blood relative to Altec i suppose.

I'd back Trusonic. as far as the model. she's prolly dust and bones. Figger that's at least mid 50's or older, she would have to be 80's or 90's. back in those days not many made those numbers.

@Bowtie, after a search of google images I do believe that you are correct in that it is a Stephens.

Just my .02..................

Stephens is "family".

The OP posted because of it's "Altec" like appearance.

It is certainly a "related" topic at the very least.

My vote would be to leave it based on the heritage and Stephens' direct connection to Altec.

We should try to identify the rest of the gear in those racks. Maybe there's some ERPI, WE, or even Altec gear there.

Maybe those little corner wedges have 755's in them.
