These look like Altec got together with Herman Miller, and whoever makes those plastic tubs for recycling.

300 bucks missing the 755E's?
He's got access to a lot better meds than i do.:doh:
I missed that part........ I was mainly just looking at the cabinets out of curiosity. Has the price of E's gone way up? I've never paid much attention to what 755's go for, other than the A's.Quote:

WOW!Quote:

Those are strange. I've never seen a 755 with an unpainted basket and backplate, Those look to be cadmium plated, very odd for genuine Altec.
I would bet my bottom dollar that they came out of the 829 patio cabs.Look at the cones "Weathered" IMO they were also coated for the outdoors(Waterproofed),they look more gray then black.That was the Altec tradition (No Labels) when they were putting speakers in cabs why waste money on foilcals and stickers/paint and such.Quote:

Yes, I saw that too after it was pointed out that he also had 755's listed. Very different...... reminds me, in a general sense, of a console pull. Maybe that's what makes them worth so much :lol:Quote:
