    Pair of Altec 19s not identical…?

    I’ve recently acquired a pair of early 19s in a decent shape, hurray, and as I’m starting to restore them, I notice that they’re not an identical match!? the most worrying difference to me is that one uses 802-8D with the slit metal phase plug, while the other has 802-8G with the tangerine. I...

I have also hammered the rivets and star soldered the ground connections. I have had the woofers professionally re-coned and installed a new diaphragm in the...

    Altec 19 Refurb project

    I walked into my favorite junking spot yesterday to see a giant stack of two altec 19’s, minus woofers. Bringing home two washing machine sized speakers seemed slightly less dumb than letting two such highly revered speakers slip from my grasp. They’ve got some nicks but a good wipe down...

    My Altec 19 Story

    Recently I found a pair of Altec 19s for an unmentionable price. Let's just say it was a good deal ;) I just barely managed to fit them into my car! I had to remove the woofers and the horns in order to lift them. They are mighty heavy speakers after all. :) After I got them home I...

    Pairing an Amp / Receiver with Altec 19s

    I recently purchased a pair of Altec 19s and they sound very good but honestly seem underpowered. My system is set up so that my components run through an HH Scott 222B and then I use the Channel Out to connect to the tape input on a Marantz 2270. The Altec 19s are the only speakers being run...
