Nice score tinpan, what's the plan?

Actually I have been busy with projects, mostly non-Altec though. Cornucopya's [sic] are top of the bill [easy to build version of Daniel Ciesinger's spiral horn] along with a new woofer project, new finds at the second hand store etc.

Eventually I will put together my own version of a Stanley Screamer with the 416C bottom and 604-8H top, most likely in an Onken style cabinet.

You should do a build thread on that! Looks interesting!!

They will be going in these.

I mounted a pair of 803s in preparation for the A210s but I put them on my A7s and they sounds so nice I think I'll leave them there.

I found these 1003s and ordered that pair of 288 drivers oldguy found on another thread. These are a little rougher, I'll have to clean up a little rust and paint them, plus make another set of wings. I am a little concerned the 515s won't fit. I'd hate to have to send them back to get the frame cut

If those are old style(32-1/2 inch overall width) 210's, you're going to have to cut something. I figure the cabinets are easier to return to original than a truncated driver frame.

It is possible to chisel out the inside of the side panels where the motorboard meets them. The panel gets mighty thin there, maybe 1/8 left on each side. That will usually allow large frame drivers to be "shoehorned" in there and will mount using the factory T-nuts. You should be able to slip a business card or matchbook cover between the driver frames, there won't be any extra space beyond that.
