Goodmorning from France.

Is the first models sealed?

IIRC, many Altec cabinets had 'ports' (what appear to be clear spaces)
on either side of the 811 horn rather than a separate duct or port.

THe ones with port are the later models.The 416 prior to 1974 was 15 inch then swithed to 16 inch. This poses a problem with older 210 cabs also as if you want to update you'l need to modify the size of the cab.

Port size for DIY.
