Ditto, thanks for finding this.

According to this, the whole duplex concept(at Altec) was the idea of an Altec dealer named Art Crawford: DUPLEX
Credit is also given to Crawford in the "Handbook For Sound Engineers" : http://books.google.com/books?id=zsE...0altec&f=false
Tempting at the price, just as a conversation piece.
That article was written by Don Davis.Nice read.. Thanks Nat, very interesting 604. The diaphragm looks to be in real nice shape.The lead in wires have a very nice arc to them.
tempting is an understatement. i saw that last night. i wonder how much he would ask if it were a pair. that would be a smithsonian level findQuote:

It's what I love about being an Altec aficionado.... You think you've seen everything, then along comes one more piece.
It's likely that it only ever came out as a single - mono - system, given the date.
Still a great piece of history, hope it sells to someone who really appreciates it.
BIN lowered to $395.
That's pretty fair for any working 604C, no?
That really makes me wonder though...what's wrong with this?Quote:

The reason for the lower price is a lack of interest IMO "No Bids" yet.
Lack of interest driven by obscurity/lack of popular knowledge.Quote:

Yep,,, When I found the unit I thought It was reworked by some amateur and put his own label..^^Quote:
