Altec Lansing in immaculate condition

I found these photos on the web and wanted to share them.
By the way, there should be a new category: Coaxial-Triaxial
Although they can be considered multi-way, they are "all in one" transducers (on the same axis), not separately.

Enjoy !

Ah, 604E, my 3rd best fave of the series with GPA's 604-8E II 2nd and W.E./Lansing/Altec's 604B (with 1.2 kHz XO) numero uno.

I heard a story - someone was demolishing a convention center in TX - and the ceiling was loaded with those things. Heart attack material discovering that...

I think you must have felt the same feeling as I did when I found out that a movie theater in my town was demolished.
On one occasion I could see that the speakers were VOTT, I don't know what would have become of them, I hope they have fallen into good hands, and have not ended up in the garbage container..... 😢

My best friend in high school had a pair of those in his basement, belonging to his older brother. I remember the amp was a Dynaco stereo 120. My ignorance was so profound then, I remember looking at the cover of Jerry Garcia's first album thinking "what it this?". It didnt occur to me to put it on the TT and play it; instead, I wondered what the nebulous annotations under the 4 level controls meant.

"Deal" probably would have sounded pretty good on that system.
