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
- N1201-8A dividing network
More details about everything to follow soon. In the meanwhile check #altec7188 on Instagram.
