Nice looking pair of 604's

Someone here should jump on these! I know we have members who live close to their location. I'm tempted to drive there myself--I've never heard 604's with Mantarays and I'd love to own this pair. I think they should come with the newer style (dual band) crossovers--right? Good price IMHO if drivers and crossovers are in good working order--original Altec 612 cabs look nice as well!

They aren't original 612 cabinets though as the seller claims.

I ended up with them. What kind of cabinets do you figure they are? Definately not home made. I can post pictures tomorrow. Ed

They look like Homebrew cabs, maybe they have the same cuft of a 612 but definitely not original altec cabs.

Yeah, what he said.

Ed, I'm glad to see that one of our members grabbed these! I was really tempted to make the 5-6 hour drive (each way) myself. Did you find out about them being for sale from my thread here? Do they have the "newer dual EQ" style crossovers (with h.f. compensation)? If so, IMHO those crossovers are phenomenal passive crossovers! Looking forward to some pics. As far as I'm concerned, if they're in good working order, $900 is a great price even for just the 604's and crossovers--the cabs (if well built) are a nice bonus! Of course, I'm a sucker for just about any vintage Altecs that have Mantarays and Tangerines!
