Vott with N1209-8a?

[HH-Bham]

A pair of Altec? speakers for sale. Crossovers mounted on front labled Altec N1209-8a. Have no knobs or shafts for pots. On crossover plate is inscribed "Custom crafted by . . . 1978." Also a college music department is identified. Is the xo mounted in sealed bass port? Horns look like Altec 400?? [EDIT: 811b horns?]

Any thoughts? Listed for $1k for a few weeks. I suppose it depends on what drivers on the horns and what the woofer is and what was done to the crossover, but, like . . . Altec . . , so I had to post.

EDIT: These are advertised as VOTT, but I Googled this morning and found this thread, including note by bowtie that 120xx series and other Altecs are often called VOTT but not so.

Those look like 1203's that have been modified. The 1209 networks are a bit later and would have been worth something on their own before uncle mel stroked them with his golden screwdriver.

Some folks think that anything that says Altec on it is a VOTT.

I like to think that a VOTT has 2 or 3 of these on it:
