Looking for info on an (I think) Altec system

[Bob Womack]

Twenty years ago, when I joined a particular organization, they had four large speaker systems purchased as foldback to a large TV studio. I'm having a little trouble ID'ing. Here are spces:

These were large cabs deisgned to be oriented vertically. They were nicely finished in light oak veneer. Each cab was designed to look like a stacked pair of cabinets, a larger one to hold the woofer and a smaller one on top to hold a separate, black, multi-cellular horn tweeter. The cabinets were, however, a single, common cabinet. As I remember, the woofers were 18" (I could be wrong here) and the black, cast metal horns were about eighteen inches across and 7" tall. Each section, top and bottom, had its own brown grille to cover and dress it up. I want to estimate the size at about three feet wide, four feet tall, and two feet deep.

Any ideas?

Certainly sounds like an Altec Model 19. 15" woofer....416, I think...1" driver 808, 806(?) on multi-cell horn.

Here's a link from the Library:
