Here's a link for a pair of 511E's that look like converts,throats look long and Coating was hand applied but seller has stated all this.:confused:
VINTAGE ALTEC LANSING 511E HORNS - GORGEOUS! - eBay (item 230485528829 end time Jun-15-10 20:43:00 PDT)
Missing the rear mount:confused:
I REALLY think they are fake.
The BS about how hard and expensive Aquaplas is to get pretty much finishes it off for me.
I found it in less than 10 minutes on Google.
But is it the same stuff? I've seen it too.
Sorry for the threadjack.
Aquaplas used to be one product, now it is several.
Look for the Product formerly known as Aquaplas...on tour near you...:D
"AQUAPLAS DL-10Y is a water based liquid in a heavy paste-like consistency. Use on metal surfaces to reduce vibrations and impact noise. It can be trowelled or sprayed on directly from the drum, or applied robotically, without thinning and during application cleans up with water. A typical set-up to spray AQUAPLAS DL-10Y consists of a 30:1 airless pump, a reverse-a-clean airless gun with a 1/4" round nozzle. Weight of application on 18 gauge metal is .53 wet weight pound per square foot and .34 dry weight pound per square foot. An application rate of 1.5 lbs. per square foot of wet AQUAPLAS DL-10Y will give a dry thickness of 1/8". AQUAPLAS shrinks by 20% upon drying. Remember... AQUAPLAS is a functional material, not a paint; so do not thin it to attain greater coverage. Flame Spread Index 13 (ASTM E-84) Class A. Available in 5-gallon pails (55 lbs. net weight) and 55-gallon drums (540 lbs. net weight). Operating temperature range ?40F to 400F
5-Gallon Pails @ $209.00 each. 55-Gallon Drums @ $764.00 each."
Product Pricing and Description
There may be cheaper sources...
Now that 5 gallon price $209 is ridiculous when 55 gallon drums are $764 so if you multiply 5 x 11 = 55 gal and 11 x $209 = $2299
But anyway there is another product on tour called Antivibe-DL that is Aquaplas.:D OG I think you found this link awhile back.
http://www.wilrep.com/pdfformat/3603.pdf this product is $180 for 5 gal. pails from a place in Canada called Wilrep Inc.
They may well be the same stuff.
I think the anti-vibe might have been what I actually bought on reflection. It was a year or two back, I no longer have the container.
Blachford says they are the same product.Marketed under different names.Product formerly known as Aquaplas is now called Anti-Vibe DL.
By Trade/Chemical Names
Right. AntiVibe (name) replaced Aquaplas (name) many moons ago. There are ~equivalents available in the industrial market for up to 30% less, but in all cases, 1-5 gallon lots come at a premium compared to bulk.Quote:

Hmm... 5 gallon and one gallon buckets are cheap, maybe somebody could start a vending operation for small users.
Cool Thanks Brad:2thumbsup: ,I have one of those Grainger Outlets about a mile and a half from my home on Olden Ave.But always thought they were just electrical supply houses.As I deal with a different supply house never went in there.Have to put that on my itinerary.;) And Check it out.Did you actually use this stuff ?If so what were the results.Quote:
