What are you planning to use for the crossover?
After some experimentation and development, much foo.
all the foo
Good stuff. So all passive? How will you do time alignment? Measurement and physical alignment?
Learn as we go.
I only have to please one set of ears.

Nice Wayne! I’ve got an ongoing Altec Project on the back burner - I pulled a few of these from a local Theatre about 4 years ago and they’ve just sat there
All drivers need work / replacement

What sort of work do they need?
Hahah - All the work.
HF drivers have a sheared screw stuck in the thread (Pleased to say I did this when replacing the diaphragms) So that will need removing. The LF drivers have been replaced with some bullshit which means getting some replacement 411-8A’s - The crossover looks to be mostly there but will need sorting / re capping etc. The cabs are pretty chewed up. The 511-B horns seem OK (Will clean up) Whilst it’s nice to hanker after industrial / theatre sound, remembering these were working tools handled by a variety of ‘engineers’ on the fly to literally keep the show on the road.
…Anyone interested in crying / depression? Feel free to DM for truly harrowing Westrex / Western electric stories.
I think I’ve been lucky finding stuff thats fully working and fully original because as you say, the show must go on.
411’s are cheaper to get hold of than the 416/515 but still not cheap and will no doubt need surrounds as they were foam instead of cloth I think?
Yep foam
For up and running
These look like original cones but need surrounds
