LeeBruce Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hey @RandyH 000 got a bit delayed in getting back to you. Got busy....found another Altec 606 cabinet....and bought it. I really don't want to sell my Fisher X-202 right now. Granted it has just been sitting on a shelf for a couple years....but perhaps one day, I'll get to fixing it up. I will post some pics for you. It has not been cleaned....but looks pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBruce Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Can't load other pics.....I would be over 2Mb. I'll wait a day or 2.....and down size the others. It is the older version with the gold face plate.....and not a B or C model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about this, but believe that Hillcraft made these Altec cabinets on the West Coast...and Homecraft made them on the East Coast... The Verde...and those type of speakers cabs were made in Glendale California...by a furniture company called Glenn.... I know where one of these is. It was purchased with a Tannoy Silver (iirc) in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBruce Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hi @Godataloss Do you think it might be for sale...? I couldn't afford the Tannoy Silver....but perhaps he'd like to sell the cabinet... Or even better....Buy mine. I am sure the one pictured above is a genuine Altec 606. I believe these on the East Coast were manufactured by HomeCraft Furniture Co. in New Jersey. Those sold on the West Coast....were manufactured by Hill Craft Furniture Company. I believe this to be the case.... I did buy a second one.....but now have regrets.....it is not the same as mine. Could have a discussion about these if anyone is interested..... Back to the Fisher X-202. Was reading up on it...and didn't realize it was held in such high regard....suppose to be a nice amp. Mine came out of a console.....so it says Executive on the front left.....instead of the Model #. And no case. Looks to be original....but I haven't looked inside.
