They are massive and beautiful and a questionable purchase. The previous owner cut them to fit 18’s which I want to undo. I have a few questions for the...

    University Sound Phoenix Speakers

    My Dad purchased these in 1965. They're University Sound Phoenix Speakers (15" 3 way triaxial?) He always told me they were kind of a knock off of the Altec Lansing Voice of the Theater. Needless to say I can't find any info on these. They work and still sound very nice for a speaker that's...

    Help Identifying Some Vintage(?) Altecs

    Hi, I just had someone drop off the Altecs in the picture, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to find more info on them. You'll notice that someone has replaced the woofers with MTXs (those wouldn't have been stock, would they??). I did do a quick frequency response test and the tweeters...

    Altec Capri 887a (Mini Monitor II) Upgrades

    I just picked up a pair of these with one tweeter not working for the price of free99. Upon further inspection, the tweeter shows resistance and puts out sound when the crossover is bypassed. They have a high frequency adjustment pot that probably needs a good cleaning or to be bypassed. The...

    Anyone else have Altec Lansing 9813b’s ?

    Hi gang, I’m getting ready to redo the surrounds on a pair of Altec Lansing 8913b “studio monitor” speakers. Both woofs and mids need sourrounds, mostly ‘cause they look scruffy. Cabinets are pretty nice and they use the “Mantaray” tweeters. This particular pair was actually used as a studio...

    Altec Lansing Model 3 Series II

    Does anyone have any recommendations for after market tweeters for the Altec Model 3's??? The stock high frequency frame drivers are working fine but the upper frequencies seem a little reserved. The high frequency control knob is set to the middle as standard, I find when I turn that up to...

    Strange crossover help

    I re-capped some Altec Lansing Bolero 890C speakers several months ago and I just mapped out what this crossover is doing and there is one strange thing: The tweeter has a 6uf cap which is normal then after that (in parallel) is a 3uf cap and a 15 ohm resistor. The resistor makes sense since...

    Model 205

    I'm just getting back into vintage audio after an absence of about 30 years. Can anyone tell me about Altec Lansing Model 205. I found some for 40 bucks. Looks like they need to be re-foamed, but otherwise pretty good. Are they worth the trouble?
