    Hi, my name is KidAltec and I'm a Altecaholic

    It all started for me 30 plus years ago when I heard those damn 891As





    And then it was the Santana IIs and the 714 Receiver





    And then much later in life it was the Stonehenge IIs and IIIs





    And then the 3370s and 3341s and Model 6s and now finally the Model 14s





    And now I'm on the trail of the Holy Grail >>> Model 19s





    CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP ME BEFORE I LOSE MY HAPPY HOME AND END UP LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER?????

    PS: The van would be pulling a big trailer of course for all my ALTEC STUFF!

    Welcome, KidAltec! There are folks here who live and breathe AllTechnical. Boy, are you in good company! Downside, the only help you'll get here will get you to the river sooner.

    Great to see another member within a stone's throw. Ever been to Electronics Diversified?

    You have a PM about a pair of 19's.

    1. JamminJersey for used components? I had bad experiences purchasing stuff from them. Improper packing, woofers arrived totally destroyed, Jammin Jersey said it wasnt their fault or responsibilty. Insurance paid for the order, but they sent 2 woofers face to face, in 1 box, and the woofers were completely destroyed, BOTH VC,s punched through center of cones, totally torn spiders, and one magnet was knocked completely off woofers frame and they didnt stand behind the sale. They told me its up to the insurance! JJ is a fish that stinks on ice!

    2. Great Plains Audio? Bill makes products brand new to factory spec. His work, and his repairs are impeccable, and he is fairly reasonably priced. Nice guy to talk to as well. If your going, go first class, buy GPA, buy NEW, and youll have great speakers when you have completed your project.

    Sorry Convergence, no disrespect, but I totally say STAY AWAY from Jammin Jersey!

    Kid, Welcome to the Forum!

    Thanks for the welcome scottyj

    I'm pretty set on parts ... all except I need a vintage set of 30685 tweeters (or something close) for my 3341s ... any ideas on what company would have a set for sale ???

    I just checked out Great Plains Audio Website

    MAN do they have the parts ... but no 30685 HF

    Maybe I should just e-mail them and ask what they recommend as a replacement HF
