What Did Heath Use 511A's For?

[bowtie427ss]

Hmm, I saw this epay ad some time ago except listed as Altec. Guess they didn't sell, so now trying to make them seem a bit rare. Can't believe Heathkit would pay for the bkts. and don't recall ever seeing them in a catalog or why they would even offer them.

Those were my thoughts also. So, i suppose this is in effect "taking the long way around" to maximize one's profit on a pair of 511A brackets.

It's always been my understanding that the bracket was originally intended to provide true omni-directional positioning when the 511A was used as a stand alone paging/PA speaker.

I guess i have a fetish for the bracket, they could not have been inexpensive to produce, and seem to be fairly uncommon in the marketplace.

Mine too.

Around here it's because they are still in service with one brand/type of horn or other.
