808-8b missing tangerine, any available?

**BillWojo** · June 6th, 2017, 06:41 PM

So I'm looking for some cast pot 802 or 808 drivers and finally get a clean one for a good price. It has the later style cover on it (maybe a clue that it is tangerine style?) and it looks pretty nice.
First thing I do is open it up hoping the diaphragm is original and I see a big empty hole where the tangerine should be sitting. Grrrrr. And no, its a aftermarket beat up diaphragm as well.
So I sent a letter off to him, he has several other units as well. I'll keep this if I think I can find a tangerine, not sure where to look though. I know that they are just glued into place. This is bumming me out. On top of that, I was hoping for the circumferal <sp> phase plug. These are going to be for the field coil conversions.
Thanks for any help.

I wonder if the new style "swirly" GPA phase plug will fit in the older Altec drivers? Its definitely worth calling Gpa to ask.

They have some good stuff at Jammin Jersey. Prices are a little high, but if you need it, they probably have it.

I talked to Bill at GPA, he said that he would help me out on that when I'm ready. I want to order some new diaphragms in the near future so I'll get it than.
Thanks guys.
