toolz Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Congratulations. That is one impressive complement of drivers in one box. They all look like the day they were put in the bin. Never too many pictures. Nice piano also. Good luck on the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 took 'em apart today. Here's way too many pics of the innards http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r21/woodogs-world/Patrician%20800/03182012/ Forrest here: made the link clickable Great photos, but I must say I was shocked to see your Ridgid tool on top of one of the speakers.

Woodog Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 It always helps to express interest... here's the rest of the 'take' I asked if I could have the amps that drove the speakers... sure, they said. Lookit what was in there: http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r21/woodogs-world/Amplifier-Altec1568a/ Do I want anything else related to the amps, they asked... Lookit what was in there: http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r21/woodogs-world/Projection%20Room/ Finally, I got a call asking if I wanted the big black speaker in the back of the theater... they needed it gone. why yes, yes indeed I'll help you get rid of it... An Altec Voice of the Theater A4 cabinet 2 515Bs, a 288-16G and the horn ... as well as a HUGE cabinet, along with the original packing list and instructions for assembly. http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r21/woodogs-world/vot/ anybody know anything about old projectors? :-) Forrest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 anybody know anything about old projectors? :-) Forrest,Those could be great for playing vintage or archival reels. Most currect theatres use horizontal plate projectors which put a lot of stress on the film as the film is pulled from the center of the reel and twisted and fed through the projector and back onto a other flat horizontal reel. This method doesn't require rewinding the films, making it easier for a theatre to play the film for the next showing. There should be a market for those verticle projectors. ...and an old Revox RTR... unbelievable. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Now you have to rent a building to set up a "Real Life Live Home Theatre". All you need now are a couple of old theatre seats with chewing gum stuck on the bottom. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallette Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Man, those drivers really look like NOS compared to the cabinets! I'd love to hear them. I recall looking at magazine pix of these things in awe back in the day. Interesting seeing the horns vertically mounted. Seems like it would limit dispersion?

Marvel Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Interesting seeing the horns vertically mounted. Seems like it would limit dispersion? Those look like EV 8HD horns (I have a pair of them myself). They are diffrection horns, and have wider dispersions when mounted vertically, with 120 x 90 degrees. Works the same way placing your finger just under one side of a water stream, and it deflects to the same side.Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You learn something every day! Never seen diffraction applied to music speakers, only paging horns... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser SET say Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Awesome Forrest, nice to see you posting. They are a beautiful find and even better deal[] Guess the Woo-Corns are going to have a real run for their money in the near future eh[] Need to bring those babies to the next Hope gig, I'm sure Seti and I can bring some juice for them[] Keep us posted on your refurb[8] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 great stuff here. I too have a set of old 8HD horns and 1829 drivers. Forrest, are you going to reuse that old cane grille and if not, do you think it would be salvagable for other other projects? I have this pair of 1963 Cornwalls here and the cane is just disintegrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I too have a set of old 8HD horns and 1829 drivers. My $100 LaScalas came with 8HD horns and 1828R drivers. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodog Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 I need to get new grill cloth I think. Got any ideas where I can acquire it? It's pretty shot, and smaller than a cornwall enclosure. It would probably work for Khorns, however.... Forrest great stuff here. I too have a set of old 8HD horns and 1829 drivers.
