Cliff Henricksen here. In the process of simplifying my life and looking to the future, we are jettison-ing stuff we aren't using and which is just lying about. I am inventor of, among other things, the Altec Tangerine phase plugs and the Manta Ray horns. I have (no emotional attachment to) the two original 288B (alnico) prototypes and 802 Tangerine prototypes for sale, along with other Altec memerobelia and an "interesting" vinyl record album Altec gave out to its employees. This includes some replacement diaphragms, original print ads and a priceless (one way to look at it) message from Chuck Van Liew; "a message to employees".
I'll probably put this stuff on EBay for bidding, seeing as they are historic, unique drivers not available anywhere. They were made using minimum-shrink epoxy resin in silicon molds made from an amazing aluminum model (who knows where these are). I built them myself and the machine shop crowned them on a special lathe made for phase plugs. The 288 drivers are also accompanied by a pair of replacement drivers for 288 (all aluminum) and 291(aluminum with kapton surrounds), all made by The Ladies in Anaheim, right there on Katella AVenue and the 5 freeway.
Anyone hazard a guess as to what they'll bring? Want to offer me something that will halt my EBay adventure. More than an Aaron Hernandez letter? Here's some pichiz:
