Well, I just dug it out and the damage is not as bad as I remembered it. Quite repairable, I think...enough to get it to play properly.I have had 755As with big holes and repairs in the cones and they still sounded pretty good.
With the cone cracks, this old 728B would only rate "Nearly Mint-L@@K!!" on ebay so I won't be getting top dollar for it.:p
If and when there's an Altec Users meetup, I'll bring it...along with lots of beer.
