Hi everyone. First off let me say I'm a fish out of water here. I've recently started collected Magnavox and Motorola tube console stereos. Because of this a friend asked if I'd be interested in a large speaker cabinet- if I didn't take it they were going to send it to the dump. It seems the people that have lived in the house for the past 50 or so years were downsizing and the house was being prepped for sale. This speaker cabinet has been in the house at least that long.
The question now is what do I have? From appearances, the cabinet appears to be based on an Altec Lansing 820a or 820c. It was loaded with a pair of 15" JBL 130B woofers rated at 32 Ohms each. The serial numbers don't match but they are within 10 digits from each other. There is an H-811-B horn connected to a Model 802 B driver. Non Lansing related components included a Jensen RP-302 Tweeter and a funky looking Wharfedale crossover unit. From what I've been told on other forums (which also directed me to you all), it's possible this was made from plans available at the time... Candidly speaking, I just have no idea which is why I'm here.
