In pursuit of 288 Diaphragms....

[Ashareth]

Hi all,
this is my first post here.
I own a pair of 288-16K's (great drivers, mounted on 311-60 horns) and I'm using them with a pair of diaphragms which are not mine.
I'd like to find a pair of new #23834 diaphragms for me, but I don't know where I can buy them and at what price....
I tried to contact Bill at GPA but had no response.
Any ideas?
Thank you all in advance!
Best regards,
Enrico.

Bill was out for the Christmas holidays, but he is back now....

Did you leave a message with his answering machine or an e-mail? I know for a fact he's playing catch up...he's good to respond, so I am sure he's going to get to you.

Try e-mailing him again, or call him....

First of all, I have to thank you for the useful replies: I'll try to contact Bill as soon as I can.
Thank you again.
Regards,

What are those speakers in your Avatar?

I talked with Bill just yesterday about some 288-16H diaphragms so I know he's back in town. Give him a chance though, it sounded like he's really got his hands full. Also, he has other parts for Altec stuff, not just diaphragms, spring terminals, gaskets, that sort of thing. Seems like a good person to do business with too.

Those speakers are a pair of Tannoy HPD385 dual concentric.
I own a pair of those

I like the way they look.

Looks like a gold hammertone paint finish.

Very nice.

Hope they sound as good as they look.

These are sometimes found on EBay.

MODERATOR'S NOTE: This post originally conatined a link to an eBay auction for diaphragms purporting to be NOS Altec parts. While I am sure this fellow meant nothing more than to be of service to the person who originally asked the question, the link was removed.

For a more detailed explanation of why this was done, see the discussion topic entitled, "Bogus Altec Parts", on this forum.
