RE: Another "crazy" e-Bay lisiting? Altec Model 19s.

I own two pair of 19s, one pair completely rebuilt and the other where needed.

If the cabinets are refinished, grilles repaired and/or recovered, crossovers recapped and noninductive resistors replaced, woofers reconed, new diaphragms installed, remaged motors, and new foam installed on the upper cabinet then a pair is in my thinking worth about $3000 - $3500. And also a bargain for the new owner when you compare what these speakers can do compared to a new set of speakers and their price. If someone lists a pair for $7500 and it's a survivor and never been worked on then they're just fishing. The going price for a good pair is about $2500, they just don't show up often enough. I've seen a few pairs listed at $5000 and don't think they ever sold. I'd never part with mine even though I could double my money.
