I believe the 416-8C drivers had ceramic magnets. Great plains will re-magnetize your 416-8B's free of charge as a part of the reconing. I considered the Almarro 318B before deciding to purchase...
I have referbished a set of M-19's which I later sold, and presently own another set in excellent condition. Great Plains does fantastic work for pennies and is highly recomended. Replacing the...
I have lightly sanded and refinished a set of 19's that I sold and currently own a beautiful original set of 19's in walnut. The original veneer is very thin (1/16") I believe so sand lightly. The...
"Well Iconic kept saying they were "Super Model 19 xovers" and if you loved your 19,s you needed to upgrade them to the new "Super 19 Xovers"

They where built here in the US. I spoke...
I've had them in a set I owned. Read thread here Model 19 Crossover Help or PM me for more.
Very nice clean job.
Paul, good to hear that your enjoying your 19's. If I might add a thought for those that want to build something different from the original x-overs. Build it outside the cabinet on a big board with...
Paul, my history with the 19's has been interesting. Let me start by saying that I feel that they are one of the best bang-for the buck speakers that can be purchased today. Four years ago I found a...
Thanks Bob, I think I have found the problem. The old terminal board which I didn't use, is riveted to the aluminum plate at 4 locations via a small piece of metal that is then riveted to one of the...
I've wanted to upgrade my Altec Model 19 Crossovers so 2 weeks ago I removed them from the cabinets, removed the plate that held the old electronics and had a larger plate made to attach the new...

I refurbished a pair of M-19's 6 month ago. Here's a laundry list of the refurbishments.
1) Sent all drivers to GPA to return to spec's. (Bills a great guy)
GPA does great work!!!
2) Had...
Great Plains Audio. Bill is a really good guy, give him a call.
The Model 19 is considered to be one of the best speakers Altec ever made. I have a pair and love them. Bill reconditioned the drivers...
Zilch, I'm interested in the JBL house "monitor" sound which I've always enjoyed, even on their smaller offerings. Punchy bass, midrange more up front, nice high's without sizzle although I'm sure...
I'm looking for a smaller set of JBL speakers to pair with a vintage Yamaha 810 integrated for a bedroom system. I'd appreciate your suggestions/ opinions on some of the vintage L series or JBL...
Gary before I decided to use mastic I did my due diligence on Altec Lansing unofficial site. They have more information if you look up past threads, however most of the cures are non-reversible....
Gary, I recently refurbished a pair of 19's. To dampen the 811's I used Evamastic, a sound vibration dampening material that comes in 32" x 54" sheets and is .079" thick. I believe it's used to...
Would have like to hear how a set of Altec Model 19's would have held up against those wonderful speakers.
