I have always like the Altec 417 8H speakers and regret selling the one I had. Anyway, you can get a brand new one from Great Plains Audio – The home of vintage Altec Lansing loudspeakers but they are very expensive. This company is owned and operated by former employees of Altec. You can read...

Head shell has been sold.

Greetings Nine, I have one: 9 1/4" x 1 9/16" (235 mm x 40 mm). Send me a PM with your email and I can send you a photo. Thanks, Ron

The Celestion neo 250 does look promising, and then there is this new offering from our friends at Eminence. http://www.eminence.com/speakers/speaker-detail/?model=Legend_EM12N Looking forward to seeing and hearing demos of both of them.

Bumty-bump.

EVM 12L guitar speakers 12" 200 watt. One is an oem version that came out of a Mesa closed back cabinet, and the other is a Mesa branded EVM that came out of a Mark series combo. Both are in excellent condition and sound great, just as an EV should. The oem speaker has been re-coned and is...

Hi Chris, its good to hear the head shell arrived safely and that you are happy with it. It looks beautiful , and I'm happy it went to a good home. Thanks very much, Ron

Transaction complete. The head shell is on its way to Michigan. Thanks very much Chris. Looking forward to seeing the photos, Ron

Voodoo, as of now, the shell is spoken for. The transaction with Chris is in progress and should be completed shortly. If that changes I will let you know. Thanks, Ron

This item was sold months ago and is no longer available. Thsnks

Hello all, this is an interesting discussion concerning the similarity of these amps/ cabinets and interchanging them. Another relevant question is: would the MK IV chassis from a widebody combo fit nicely in a MK V head shell without any problems? Would there be room for the fan, etc...would it...

Thanks Buster, I did not realize that you had a hardwood cab. The only other thing that I can think of, is using some hardwood dowels like Andy did. You could get some dowels that are the same OD (or close to it) as the ID of the holes (which are ~1" or 25mm) and install them with epoxy. Then...
