The Voice of God

Takin’ em to Church (with Altec) | Preservation Sound

Go to Preservation Sound for recent Altec additions: Altec | Preservation Sound

My church had some sort of Altec system hanging from the cieling long ago. I think it was an 817 and a multi-cell, but it's been so long that I don't know for sure. Most of the electronics were stolen in the early 80's. I think the speakers were taken down at that time, when a new system was purchased. I recall trying to get sound out of the cabinet by hooking up a radio to what was probably the crossover. I heard nothing....... I wish I could go back in time, as it was probably thrown away.

Ah yes, the Voice Of The Theism!
