    Re: An Altec Time-line

    Bowtie is correct. 601 was a field coil 15. LATER Altec reused the number on a 12 with tweeter.

    People trying to throw together the timeline without full research did not know that.

    At least nobody confuses the 803 woofer with the 803 multicell. But that's another post, and why the 803B and 416A are essentially the same speaker.
    Your neighbors called. They like your music.

    "The Western Electric 12A and Western Electric 13A horns"

    were supposed to be used together.

    maybe joe will stop by and tell us more.

    Re: An Altec Time-line

    Part of why I enjoy this forum so much is the knowledge and attitude of the regulars. There's always some new or reincarnated information to analyze, and this team does it with mutual respect and good attitudes. So many other forums are lacking in these qualities.

    WRT to we 555 & wooden horns, it is 100% accurate. My pair of 12a & 13a horns were fitted with the aforementioned drivers.

    These were indeed made by the Victor company. They are early, made of fitted lumber, not plywood.

    The time line in question mentions NOTHING about 12a and 13a horns. The time line in question refers to the 555w as a wood horn, which i am quite certain it is not.

    I would love to see a wood version of this and stand corrected:
