Vintage Tube Amp

These beautiful Altec 872a “Madrid” are from about 1974. Part of the 870 series from the era. The original Spanish style. Lattice grills were broken so custom grills have been added. Guilford of Maine “Crosstown” Fabric. Grill cloth, acoustically transparent. The original dust screens are still intact behind the new grills. The cloth color is “graphite”, the grill frames were made from new 1/4 birch plywood. The grills are removable (8 stapled on velcro squares each) however service is performed out the rear of the cabinet. The Original Altec badges were retained and used on the new grills. The cabinets have been hand oiled and rubbed out several times then hand waxed for durability and protection of the wood. One cabinet has a few scars, “character” as they say, on the top, please see photos. The bases have some edge wear. One corner on the bottom back of one has had a small repair and a replaced foot. From any angle these just look amazing. Dean Martin would have loved these. The original 420Y Biflex woofers and the crossbar mounted tweeters are all working beautifully. All of the insulation is original and complete and intact. The backs of the cabinets are as nice as the front, the terminals are in perfect condition. Original factory stickers still in place with each speakers serial number, only two digits apart, these are a true pair. The speakers have only been auditioned by ear, no electronic testing has been performed. These have that true classic Altec vintage sound and I think they have just a great look. These probably weigh in at over 50 lbs each, 21 wide x 24 tall x 17 deep… They aren’t perfect but they are very nice and hard to come by. Receiver, Turntable and other items in the photos are not included. I don’t mess around. Sale is final once they leave my property. Carefully and heavily packed, insured for safe arrival to your destination.
