You are indeed a conoisseur 🙂 Pano. They are a sand filled version of the Altecs 511, but I do not know if they are a perfect clone, building set aside, or if changes were made

The plans for the sand filled Iwata horn should be around - I might even have them.
For me that would be a better choice than a 511 clone. You've looked at the Iwata, non?

I actually have original SC500's and the OS-500MT drivers in my collection. I could measure the straight forward dimensions for you, but I'm not sure if I can get the flare measurement exactly right.
Hi Datubie
Nive collection you have, congrats (;-). All the way in Onken, what do you use below and above and what cutoff ? I am planning to use them with some TAD 2001 drivers I am just buying.
If you could give us some building details, that would be great, thank you !
Maybe to measure the inside of the cells, cut a cardboard until it fits inside ?
BTW, could you take some hi res pictures of sides, back, top, driver fixation and take some details especially the throat going from round to rectangle and from one pipe to several cells ?
Additionnally, are all cell parts sanded or some in plain wood ?
Many questions, thanks a lot !!
Best Regards from Paris

Onken 500 horn
Hi.
You may want to look for the le-dauphin-horn.I think it was shown in
l'audiophile issue 35,quite a long time ago.In a much later l'audiophile
(i dont remember which issue),a similar horn was discussed,and its
construction explained.Both horns were(if memory serves me right)
intended to be used with the Tad 2001 driver.
Cheers

I'm not currently not using the SC500/OS500. Although I do use the Onken W style bass enclosures.
I can take pictures pretty quick, but the cardboard shape may take me some time.
The throat is cast aluminum and the wood flare fits into it. You will probably need to make a modification here. The link I posted in a previous message shows a SC500 copy with a wood throat.
The wood parts are just plywood.

Hi Datubie,
Thanks for the links, take your time for the Cardboard, it will be great ! Other idea to save Time , in the old time, you may remember that people making plans had rubber rules that could be modeled to rounded shapes ?

Thanks Kim, I know the Le Dauphin article since I was young (;-). Very interesting though, I really would like to understand better the Onken 500 before I start dying the horn!
