I biught these at a yard sale and am trying to figure out what they are. If anyone knows the model numbers or their production numbers or anywhere where I can get components for them. Please help me out. I have to see Altecs in disrepair and wanna get them back to their full potential.

Thanks:)

:blink: The top two images look like a subwoofer.

The bottom two images are either some sorta fold-up satellite speaker, or a sonic bidet (shown with seat left up, dood... :bash: ). At this point, I'm thinking it's the latter but it's only because I admittedly have a bad attitude about these sorta gimmicky things... :p

They're Altecs for a home computer setup.

I gathered that. But the sub seems to have more than 3 plugs for dc and input connectors. ANd I have no cables for these as I got the thing at a yard sale. I wann figure out what all is missing.

Here are some pictures. IF u guys know the model number help me out. Please...:(

I own these and the foldables are sattleites. The sub though seems to give no output whatsoever. So MY problem is If I can figure out what exactly they are, I can look to fix the system up again:)

I think they're air purifiers.

The pictures lack enough detail to gather some key data. As you look them over, is there a model number anywhere? Do the foldable units have cables attached to them? Where does the cable plugged into the sub/power brick go?

If you have the original boxes.....well hell who knows what you could get for those puppies. I did an exhaustive search of the libraries here on line and couldn't find any pictures of anything like them. They look cool though! I'm all for restoring anything like the speakers you posted. The design quality is excellent and more importantly the efforts that Altec has taken to do a 180 on thier products haven't gone unnoticed! Those look cool! :barf:

Thanks Audiobeer for the tip but I have no boxes and my search of the internet as well left me with absouluely no info on thesee guys.

Guess I am gonna have to write to altec and see if they can get me soemthing from their archives before I grow old.

Thanks:banghead:
