Hello Everybody. Just purchased a pair of Heathkit AS-21 (Altec) speakers
I recently found this forum and thought I'd share these pics of my Heathkit AS-21s with you. I just got them from the gentleman who purchased them new.
The drivers are Altec 806A w/811(?) horns and a pair of 414A woofers in each cabinet.
I don't know much about the history of the speakers, their original cost or whether these would've been sold new in kit form or not. Any further information would be greatly appreciated!! Also interested in purchasing any original literature for them.
Thanks for looking.

I scored a pair myself...
From a gentleman up in the Bay area. They aren't in as pristine condition as yours and I am trying to research how to go about replacing the grill cloth which aren't as clean they could be. Anyone out there have any ideas on sources for black grill cloth that won't impart too much of a sonic signature?
The wood finish for the most part is pretty good, but there is a dent on the front left vertical side of one speaker that I will attempt to fill in, re-sand and re-finish at some point in time.
