Over the past months I have renovated a pair of Altec 846B Valencia speakers. They looked like you would expect from a 50+ year old speaker that has seen one or the other house party in its lifetime: beat up. When I went to pick them up I noticed something way worse, though: both 806-8A compression horn drivers didn’t work, as in: at all.
Everything else looked in relatively good shape and untouched, so I decided to go all in on the renovation and use these as my main speakers.
Components
- 806-8A compression drivers
- 811B horns
- 416-8Z (416-8A) alnico woofers
- N800-8K dividing network, later substituted with
- redesigned N1201-8A dividing network
