Ad says excellent condition and 100% original from 1980. Would these (1980) have 416-8C's and 902-8A's?

Excellent Vintage horns - Altec Model Nineteens

Aren't all 19s 811b horns?

yes, I've seen a lot of 19's and everyone has had an 811b.

Yes, both the earlier alnico Model 19's and the later ferrite 19's use the 811b horn. I'm wondering if by 1980 they had switched to the ferrite 416-8C and 902-8A.....

More than likely ferrite which means they suck! I'd go with a pair of LaScala's........

Actually a beautiful pair it seems.
