    Fascinating but not a tube in sight. Could it have been a late, desperate, idea when things were on the decline?

    I will be watching the bidding on this one - think of a number!

    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.

    Late, certainly, but some of the products of that era are far from desperate.

    Perhaps it's even the work of engineers from another manufacturer "pitching" a product to Altec.

    I have a pair of Altec 1905A that are actually electrically Klark Teknik DN-405's, everything inside them is KT branded. The only differences are physical, the KT is a single rack space unit, while the Altec is 2 space.

    Amazing that it didn't end up in landfill.
