Do you know the driver load yet?I figured the drivers were worth what I paid.
These spanned a huge range of years from the early "844" with curved spoke 414's all the way into the ferrite years.

And then some!! Nice score!
I should have realized from the green horns alone that they're "844's".

Note that spec sheet is from 1965.
Just for giggles, check ebay over the course of a few weeks and see what a great investment you made.

Looks like what they probably did was eventually add the prefix "9" to the models designed as monitors, purely a guess on my part though.You know when i was posting that spec sheeet I came across the 844's and wrongly thought it was another typo...
Anyhow they are essentially the same speaker WRT to performance it seems.
I think that this may be the longest running model Altec made(EDIT; 2nd to the A7 of course), from at least as far back as 1965 to as late as 1984. The only changes made were simply the result of the evolution of the drivers and the color of the grill cloth.

I THINK the change came with the angular frames on the 414, it got new frames in the 60's where the 15's changed some 5-6 years later.
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
