    Altec Compression Driver ID

    Any idea what this is? It's from a VOT. My guess is 808-8A. Thanks!

    Hi,

    Since the driver's body is black ( & of a specific length ), the pictured driver could be either of these two models ; 802-8D or 808-8A ( with the installed diaphragm type determining the driver model number ) .

    In either case, the more modern replacement diaphragm # 34647 ( $ 90.40 from GPA ) is (IMO ) better sounding than either of the original ( installed possibilities ) .

    Agree with Earl on this..Also looks like the binding post needs to be repaired on the HF driver or at the very least is missing it's bakelite washer.
