THESE ARE 8" SPEAKERS . USE TO MAKE CABINETS FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WITH ALTEC PANCAKE PEAKERS. GREAT FOR NEERFIELD.

The 400B is not a musical instrument speaker. It was an early full range driver (introduced in late 1940's) that was 8" in diameter and used an aluminum center dome in place of a dustcap. JBL developed their D208 to be a direct competitor. There is a limited amount of information on the following page along with compatible Altec enclosures from that era:
