jimjimbo Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Really nice pair of vintage Altec 886a speakers. One active and one passive per unit. Gorgeous walnut cabinets. There are some scratches via the previous owner, but only on one short side of each speaker. I refinished these with two coats of Watco walnut oil, and 3 coats of Watco Rejuvenating Oil, and they do look great. The cabinets are very tight and are very well constructed. Original drivers, new gaskets to the motorboards. Everything tested and excellent. Recapped the crossovers, only one 5uf cap in each, replaced with a Dayton Precision Audio 1% caps. Tweed brown grills which are damn near perfect. Original Altec badges present I was very happy with how great these sound after my refurb. Certainly could use a sub, but they sound terrific on their own. Suffice it to say that I don't "need" any more speakers..... Located in NW Indiana. Pickup only, no shipping. Happy to audition in my outdoor space. $295 Please PM me with questions and intent to purchase. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
