Hello! I have two cabinet w/ speakers in them, from the Albee Theater in Cincinnati OH. They were auctioned off when the theater was closed and later demolished. One of the speakers is an 602A Duplex and the other speaker isn't marked, but has a 1600A 1600ohm crossover and a serial number (?) marked 20598. From what I can tell, it appears to be a 605A possibly? Can anyone direct me to a good resource for researching this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Earl - I looked there... actually I have spent several hours researching this am, and can't come to any definitive conclusions.

Thanks! Karen

604C or early D, IMO.

Dust off the larger circumference of the motor and you will find a label.

Here's an example of where the label will be located:

Bowtie427ss,

You rock and I am embarrassed! It was on there of course and yes, you are correct, 604C

Thank you!

So I have 1 604C and one 602A in cabinets from the Albee Theater... I have lugged them from house to house since 1984 when I aquired them from an aunt, and I am wondering if I should keep doing that or if there is a market for them where an audiophile would appreciate them properly.

Karen, Welcome to the Board ! We have a marketplace thread at the top of the page if you do intend to list them..Don't know if they will sell here as most of the members here have all the Altec they need.

AB, just remember all you need and all you want are two different things....

Karen, you list them at a decent price, and you will undoubtedly get some interest.

I resemble that remark.

Pretty much AA...

But as for the Marketplace ? Just an observation from following the thread for sometime.But the best part is it's FREE Karen !

Cause those listing fees,final sale price fees,Paypal Fees,Shipping fees, they eat a pretty good chunk of your money at that FleaBay.

I mean Shipping Fees ? Really ? They actually charge you now for shipping fees...Unbelievable !
