horn player Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Help me identify my over the weekend find at my favorite junk/thrift store. Large and heavy!! They are Altec Lansing, but no labels or model numbers to be seen, just attenuator faceplace on back of one says Altec Lansing and crossover 1500Hz.. Shining a light through the grill, I can see they have upper right mounted 12" diameter treated cloth coxial woofers (with little sectoral horns) and an approximately 4" x 10" or thereabouts horn in the bottom with large round ports. Grills are fixed, and I have not removed the backs, since they don't appear to have ever been opened. They were with an early 70's Pioneer receiver, which I passed on Same thrift store I found JBL L100 Century speakers with silver face Pioneer amp and tuner - they get a lot of estate stuff! I got them so cheap I almost felt guilty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxx Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm not familiar with these speakers, however the grille work is outstanding.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horn player Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yes, they appear to be Barzilay cabinets. Thanks for your help, now I'll have to pull the backs off to see what's inside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got them so cheap I almost felt guilty! Not my local thrifts... There's an SA that turns away all electronics because they lack the staff to properly evaluate it, and a GW that is THROUGOULY picked over ever time I try to go.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Don't know about the speakers but I had that same audio rack new in 1989. Lasted 15 or more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
