Can anyone identify these?

[alskinner]

Found these on e-bay. simular to the JBL 236X series but have not seen any like these. Could be Electrovoice. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks AL

Those are Everest Horns forget the model number. Post a link if you can. Hope there is a pair. Also used in the defined directivity 4660

Hi Rob

Here is the link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...316122855&rd=1

He mentions horn so I don't know if he has a pair or not. Didn't realize the Everest horn was that big. Would love to have a pair but I can barley get through the house now because of Large Format JBL stuff.

Regards
AL

Thanks for the link! Looks like a single.

Matthias will make it into a pair....

Notice how the listing goes from "What the Heck" to "World famous" Can't be that famous Famous means the average Joe knows what it is. Whenever that horn shows up most people never have a clue what it is???

[Mr. Widget]

Does a product made in California that is famous in Japan qualify? That may be enough...

As a long time reader and poster on this forum I knew what they were, but before this site I had never seen an Everest let alone the 4660, and I still have never heard either one.

can anybody buy this thing?
if it isnt to expensive

and send to me if i can afford it ...

then i can take messure and rebuilt...
greetings!

[Mr. Widget]

It is a physically very large horn. It is too large to be shipped by the US Post Office via surface mail so shipping would be considerable.

UPS wasn't bad cost-wise (shipped a pair from Wisconsin to SoCal...) and if you pack
them yourself with foam wedges, they fit pretty survive-ably (a word?) in rectangular boxes. The 4660(A) horns don't have the same mounting bolt pattern as pictures I've seen of the Everests, and the mounting flange appears to be a bit wider, but I've only pictures to compare to. Happy to take measurements (non-acoustic) of the pair I liberated from
a set of 4660A's upon request (might take a day or two).

Grumpy ive a question! have u self drawing cad files of the everest?
if not i will make one like my selfmade S2600 CAD drawing (picture)
but i need messures !
i want to rebuilt the everest like my S2600
but only in a half year

greetings matthias

[grumpy]

just sketches... not dimensioned CAD files... (nice S2600 rendering)
yes, measures would be helpful. I'll forward some guesses in the next day or two.
Then folks can tell me how full of crap I am :-)

[MatthiasA]

could you send me this sketches please?
did you look at my S2600 rebuilt thread?
I would help you to draw the CAD
there would be no problem
greetings Matthias

[grumpy]

I've also spoken to Jan and will take some 2346
horn measurements/photos to help along those lines.
