    If memory serves, these were a pretty decent speaker.

    Seems like they had a 3000 series tweeter in them, which does blow fairly easily, so be careful with them!

    Great Plains can't repair them, but the 3000 series tweeter element IS still available!

    Bill Hayes at MicroMike Labs has them, and can repair them for you!!!!

    Bill was Head of Acoustic Research at Altec from 1972 - 1982, and was an employee in the Acoustic Lab from the middle 1950's.

    He bought all of the Altec microphone parts when Gulto (EV) bought Altec Lansing in 1984 and started servicing them himself.

    He's a one-man shop, so don't expect a one-week turnaround, but his work is EXCELENT, and he is a GREAT guy and a good friend!

    His contact info is:

    Mr. Bill Hayes
    MicroMike Labs
    1537 West Cris Place
    Anaheim, California 92802
    Telephone: (714) 774-0342

    Tell him I sent you.
