No affiliation. Original Altec Flamenco speakers and console
Thats a well maintained piece of Altec history and a steal at that price. Hope an Altec enthusiast buys it and maintains it for many more years before passing it on :). Thanks for sharing bowtie.
Very welcome, just way too big and too much money at this point on my timeline. Otherwise, i'd be showing pics of myself unloading that stuff in my driveway. Those are worth a road trip and a half at that price i think.Quote:

Very well maintained, apparently. His writeup conveys a lot of love for these things:
"These are an original pair of Altec Flamenco speakers (circa 1970) and matching console unit both in mint condition. The console contains a Vector Research receiver and Dual turntable along with plenty of storage. The Flamenco's feature a 15" woofer along with a horn driver. These speakers have become very popular among stereophile collectors. They sound fantastic, have never been modified or repaired and don't have any blemishes which is rare with cabinets this old. Will not break up set."
Dual turntables can be adequate, the vector research should be replaced at first opportunity. But still a heckuva deal.

I've got a willing contact up there with a truck, and some storage. I just don't like asking folks to move big heavy things on my behalf. I am the crazy one after all.
Still kicking self for not letting them go ahead and pick up the (dern cheap) 203b's that were up there a while back.
Price has now been changed to $1200--wonder if it's still on the way further down again. His listing is starting to seem like the stock market--I guess you really have to know when to buy!
Very true...lolQuote:

Sorry guys, i've obviously posted another ad from a seller who is either off his rocker or on his recreational meds.
Not necessary Bowtie ! :wink2:Quote:
