Do it! The missing 15" woofers are readily available, and were commonly the JBL D130 or equivalent. If the horns are missing the compression drivers that should be there, those too are available. You should buy the x/o from the seller, but the A-7 x/o schematic should be easy to find on the 'net, and you can have a local ee build you a pair. If you don't like the resulting sound, you can always sell them to a local Rock band---they are a classic PA speaker. They do tend to dominate a room, though!
Altec A7 yay or nay?
I have the opportunity to buy Altec A7 cabinets ($100 a pair) and Horns ($260 a pair) without any cones to either.
The cabinets and grills are in great shape as is the Horn.
My question is, is it worth a punt? as a DIY project that has to be done on the cheap.
Any suggestions as to alternative cones/crossover would be greatly appreciated.
The chap does have the crossover also, not sure what he is asking though.
This is more of a whim purchase and not a necessity.
I know one thing, it is going to be hard to slip them into the house without anyone noticing, lol...
