Hello all,

I just recieved a pair of altec lancing model 9's a friends dad gave me. The drivers are in pretty poor shape. The one woofer needs a recone and then other needs at least a new surround. The midranges also need to get new surrounds.

I have contacted great plains audio to ger prices.

My question is are these speakers worth a $200 investment to get them playing again. I have never heard these speakers but would like any input or experience any of you have.

Thanks,

Parker

Maybe this SEARCH will help - it took me a couple of tries (because I knew what was out there having refurbished a pair myself).

See Altec Model Nine components thread - it was my search for components and the help that followed.

I fixed the Link that expired. Try it now.

Also, try and Advanced SEARCH using "Model Nine" in "Titles Only" - you should find some additional relevant info...
