    Altec 815A (DIY modified?) in Kansas

    It looks like someone modified the 815A woofer horn adding a (too) large port on the bottom. Any thoughts?

    Looks like a proper 815 with a riser cobbled onto it, to me.

    Hmm, based on the ancient woofers and plywood grain typical of early Lansing, Altec theater horns, I'm thinking modded H110/A5, which has only just a little bit bigger horn than an 815, so not obvious without the buyer posting dims.

    Ah! That's what I get for only blowing up the throat pic! Getting sloppy in my dotage.
