I DID IT! I finially accquired a pair of altec lansing speakers from my father, a pair that i've wanted since i was about five years old. Now that i have them, i am curious about their history. The story i was told is that my father bought them back in the mid seventys from a bunch of teenagers in a cabin for $375. More than likely stolen. For all i can figure is they are church speakers. Their a little sky of four feet tall, little shy of three feet wide, and about two feet deep. They have a pair of 15's that work wonderfully. Both my horns are burnt out though. I know i can buy a replacement diaphragm, but i'm curious about the problems these things have after sitting several years. I noticed a little corosion under the diaphragm which has me concerned about change in sound quality or anything like that. They are in beautiful wood boxes with a wood-lattice-type-mesh and a little ALTEC plate in the corner. So pretty much, I'm asking if anyone out there has ever even seen a pair of these or if anyone knows where i could find some history, and if anyone has any suggustions on things i should watch out for from age and sitting (wern't hooked up for at least 14 years)
and where to find parts.. i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks much!
