Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:20591796 | Brand: ALTEC |
Stylish and powerful early 50's boom box of a cabinet, with non-OEM speaker.Beautiful plywood cabinet with silver hammertone finish, see pics for condition, will be super with some restoration.Has a Stromberg-Carlson RSI-81 speaker. Which I think is 8" as was the original 755. Tested, sounded good to me.Approx. Dims 10" outside hole,
14" deep,
17" wide,
22" tall,
16 lbs.Has a little musty smell in my opinion, was in a basement many years, no visible mold noted, mu...ch got aired out already.Position of logo is on bottom and right side up, when the narrow end is down, has metal loop on the deeper end to hang from wall/ceiling, maybe was an auditorium or theatre/movie theater speaker.You can read about this model at this audiophile's blog:"The Altec 618C cabinet was a different beast entirely from the (618) spec cab...and it's much more of a boom box. The sides and back are very thin 3/8" plywood and make a lot of noise when you drum on them. The front panel is a bit thicker at 5/8" and far less resonant in itself, but everything is connected so the whole box comes alive while playing music.."http://junkyardjukebox.blogspot.com/2012/10/wealtec-755a-thinking-inside-box.html?m=1Shipping
