I don't have much room for speakers, but I have plenty of room for pictures of speakers. Nice find.

VERY nice score.. Glad to see someone that appreciates them get them, instead fo someone that would part them out and flipp them.. NICE SCORE!!!!
 
Oh he's off the deep end already if he came here to talk about these :D... I'm hoping he's not married...
 
Yeah.. I guess you can get them to let you stand up in the boat, so long as they trust ya not to rock it..

Second the Zilchster's response, wipe it off with a damp cloth. Parroting what others have said, the Cadmium Oxide is a carcinogen so, don't do anything to make it become airborne.

EDIT: aplogies Celt, simultaneous post.

Thanks for the good info on that crud. I must be lucky because I did clean it off with damp cloth :thmbsp:
And yes I an married We used her dads truck to get these and when we got them home the truck could not make it up our driveway so she helped me :no:

I like ya already db... :yes: I hate seeing people trash something so nice and uncommon for a little bit of money.. Altec speakers should be appreciated, not shipped off shore!
 
The nice thing about these big Altec cabinets is that they're just big enough to live in once your wife kicks you (and them) out of the house!

(There are a pair in my living room right now...)

My cat likes using my VOTTs as it's house and playroom (see my avatar) so guess I could move into the other one if need be..

Can be carcinogenic if inhaled too. :(

That's not good. Are you sure it's Cadmium Oxide, Though? I did a quick Google search and Cadmium Oxide is supposed to be brown. Most of the powdery stuff I've seen on audio equipment and speakers is more of a white color.

I've never been careful at all trying to get rid of this stuff. Since I have never been able to really get rid of it, I stopped trying to wipe at it, and usually blow as much off as I can and leave it at that..... I think I'm not going to do that anymore :thumbsdn:
