Sure, I'll just don my Spiderman costume and get right up there. They love it when I climb around up there

Interesting... I have a set of drivers that I was told came from Santana 879A cabinets, though when I got them they were in homemade ported enclosures. The bass/mid is the 420A biflex, but the tweeters are different to the ones you posted. They look similar from the front although they have a protective mesh, like fine gauge flyscreen, over the cone/surround area. The backs have Altec-style covers over the magnets with "Altec 423" labels. I'll try and get photos this weekend.

OK, as I promised a couple of posts back, I've finally taken some photos. The tweeters are actually 427-8A, as used in the Stonehenge I and Santana II. The 420A drivers have 16" 416-8B frames, with what appear to be 416-8A magnets and covers. So they don't appear to have come from a Santana I after all. It's probable that they were bought as parts.
