Altec 821A Cabinet Project

Use the Way Back Machine to find the 'dead' linked docs he used: Lansing Heritage Forums - View Single Post - ALTEC A7 & 300B SET

Didn't save his pics, hopefully he or someone else did. Anyway, here's some of a dang near 'same as new' unit beginning here: Altec Lansing - Page 8 - diyAudio

I can't view the pictures either. I thought it was just me. Too bad. With all the accolades I feel I am missing something very special. I'll keep checking back. Maybe the images will suddenly appear. Hopefully they will.

Yeah, it'd be just great to find any info on this cabinet - hard to think that there isn't any available anywhere, on what appears to be a truly classic design

Huh?! I pointed you to enough info to build it, plus some nice detailed pics to compare to the drawings in case they weren't clear enough.......

I'm not sure how the "Way Back Machine" works, and when clicking the link, I was taken to a "Single Post" at the Lansing Heritage site, posted by tomp787 wherein there are some picture links. When clicking those, I land on a site that appears to be dead..? - so what am I doing wrong?
I'd be very grateful if you could explain how I can access the "linked docs he used"

This link worked just fine, and those pics of the 820 are great - Thanks!

Cheers

GM, could you please let me know what to search on at the Wayback Machine?

Cheers

Hi Peter,

- Have you "PMed" Reed Hinton ( to see if he has kept the original pictures for his build ) ?

- The next pic is from Steve Macs' build of a dual 15, midbass horn flare for his stereo system .
- Steves' build was for a pure, twin 15 horn / as compared to Reeds' combo build ( Horn with Reflex ) .
- Steves' thread ( called Mid Bass Horn Design 80-800 Hz ) will serve you well ( for the horn-flare portion of your project ) .

<> cheers
