    This is not a 1945 515b for sure. But I could'nt see them claiming it anywhere in the video.
    I was rather more curious to know where the small signal parameters ended up at. They have not given it.

    But the video is very nice to watch, especially for Altec fans.

    In the comments someone asked what year it was from.

    Satria Speaker responded with "1950"

    Must be, otherwise OG wouldn't have mentioned it.
    Thanks to you for the clarification.

    As I don't understand the language, I didn't/don't go to the comments section, unless very curious about something.

    Thanks again

    It's a 515b motor on a 515 C basket.

    The voice coil used in the restoration seems far too deep. The 515 is an underhung woofer.

    Cone and surround are incorrect as well.

    That basket is common on later 515b. Stolen pic from wardsweb http://www.wardsweb.org/audio/Altec/515B2.jpg

    The very beginning shows a picture of the speaker and says 1945 https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...arev4/1945.jpg

    Wonderful! Its right there.... but nobody notices !

    I think its around 7/8 years old when a similar situation was reached.
    I think it was AB who had observed, " For an Old Guy you have quite sharp eyes !
    It still holds water today.

    Thanks
