Call me Al (Scala)...

Scored this beauty last night for next to nothing.... One only, but with a spare Altec 511b lens.  Its one mixed up puppy - I wonder how it will sound? 

 

Like I needed another project...  Anyway, your ridicule is welcome 🤣

Interesting combination of components. I assume there is some type of dividing network in that box or at least a capacitor? I think that compression driver is rated down to 800hz which is probably a stretch. Do you have a multi-meter to check the DCR of the driver and woofer?

Jackpot!

 

Yes.... I am feeling a bit pleased with myself.  You need the occasional 'win' in life don't you?  A pair of 511b horns, pair of K55's and a Vitavox 15/40 for beer money.... 🙂

 

Pays not to be too proud though, just in case irony kills me with an infected paper cut or something... or I get a black fly in my chardonnay.....

Holy cow! Just googled the Vitavox K15/40.

 

A little leg work and you could parlay all that into a decent pair of used Khorns.

 

...sweet...

 

Yes... if only I there were two of the Vitavox drivers - then it truly would have been a scoop. Chances of finding a second one at sane money are slip.

 

Current replacement cost new from Vitavox in the UK is £3095 per driver..... yikes!
