The Dude Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I was searching CL for theater speakers. When I cam across this add. http://omaha.craigslist.org/for/4869930252.html So I thought I would see if they had any goodies, they emailed me saying they have 3 of these and a box for a VOTT. I responded asking what they mean by box for a VOTT, and how much they wanted for the JBLs. Then realized at the end of their first email, they said come get it all. Kind of took that as they wanted it gone. But I will find out for sure. Might be worth some fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Altec Voice of the Theater, probably a A7-8 or A7-500 box. Very worthy of restoration. I have a pair of same, boxes only, for sale if someone wants to do a LCR of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 uh, are you in the truck yet?? No I don't have a truck. Plus I must have ruined the free gig by opening my mouth and asking how much. They must have done some research after I asked as it took a couple hours for them to respond. Then their response was, I dont know what to ask since prices seem all over the place. So what seems fair to you. As for the VOTT I have seen them go for 300, so how does 200 sound? I might try to find someone Sunday with a truck that wants to go out there, if I can get a good score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 I have read that the VOTT, and these particular JBLs are lacking in the low end, I would be willing to play with for a low cost. As I wonder how the sound with the right sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Reading between the lines, their ad said they were hoping to get $50 for antique theater seats. I'd offer $50 and you'll haul everything away. Or buy one of their chairs for $50 if they'll throw in the old, useless speakers with the deal. Or simply offer $100 if you are a nice guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 'Box' for VOTT kinda implies no drivers, possibly no networks. Parts for those aren't inexpensive. You could put any old 15" and horn driver and have a box that made noise for a band, but a proper audiophile would want the correct parts in there.
