Altec Lansing 9845a listening evening 30 Jan in Stourbridge

Just publicising this in case of anyone in the Stourbridge area wishes to attend. It’s not often that you get the chance to hear a massive pair of vintage Altecs. I wish I lived nearer.

Have a pair here in need of attention before Lopwell

Well, I am bringing some of my front room over to play with the Altecs on Thursday :smile:. The reel decks and a lot of records.

I’ve heard those speakers in a fairly modest space and they do sound just as good as you might imagine.

Haha I was waiting for that call

Since hearing this pair I’ve been pondering the idea of sourcing a similar pair just for Lopwell etc duties.

GLWT hen’s teeth & rocking horse shit etc.

Mine have multi issues. They’ve been sat in the corner for a few years so I probably should do something

Similar is the key word. It could include a broader scope of say getting a clone of this kind of speaker made or design and build something that has a similar sound presentation.

yeah i’d love to hear some big altec horns. I’ve only ever heard them in noisy crowded trendy bars.

Sounding :ok_hand:

4 very large sash clamps on a mobile tool rack back left.
What are they making in the workshop / factory?
