My Altec 604e build

Btw, I used fly line. Super strong, does not degrade. So many options ( nylon screws, zip ties, ECT )

I don't know where the Loading caps are. Can you point that one out? Zip Ties are a good idea! Is the Phragma a part of the driver? I plan to run theses boxes on a low power 300b SET. I plan to stick with the Iconic for now. I'm thinking maybe upgrade the 5 capacitors since they are over 20 yrs. old. I could see they are Dayton audio grade. Do you have any suggestions on what caps (brand) to use on the Iconic?

The Loading cap is that round black cover over the Diafraghms =Fraghms

Ah capacitors;
With out very extensive testing and hundreds of different types going from cheap poly’s
To super expensive copper foil and wax “Dueland “ there’s no way to tell you what will be best for your ears and budget!
I highly suggest you get the Humble capacitor test and read this extensive Review.
Hopefully someone can post link to it!

Turns out those nuts & bolts are non-ferrous after all. The caps are Dayton (Audio Grade). I can see 1 cement resistor and a black wire wound on the bottom of the bread board. I'm leaving the crossover as is for now. I will move to the 300b next. Later I will experiment with the loading cap. Thanks Guys!
