    Re: speakers for GM

    Greets!

    Thanks for the thoughts guys, but despite significant help from a number of Altec and other forum?s members some years ago now; time, electronics repair/replacement is what I mainly need along with rebuilding the speaker's XOs or replacing them with digital units.

    As John indicated though, for a variety of reasons the housing market collapse has forced me to do a whole property rehab or due to insurability issues will have to sell it for next to nothing as a condemned property. If I could afford it, I?d just plow it under and build a concrete slab foundation ?compound? [house with attached garage, shop, storage shed] on top of it like a new neighbor down the street did.

    Old age, injuries and a few costly new ones are making it such slow going though that combined with all the recent storm damage and no insurance help, I?m ~continually repairing recent repairs, so going on five years now to repair only a portion of all the new extensions, rehab that I did in a ~ 8 mo. period after work and on weekends ~35 yrs ago.

    Regardless, I could get the basic Altec system going again, but knowing me, I?d let the more important stuff ?slide?, so it?s the ?carrot on the end of the stick? that keeps me motivated to ?git-r-done?.

    As good, inexpensive as they're getting, I just might, but need some dental work done first, so plan to just do passive since I have a lot of small caps, resistors I can cobble together...........
