wolfenbit Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hello, I have a co-worker who came by a set of Altec 9849A studio monitors. His deceased son in lawwas some sort of an electronics guru, and these were his originally. I am trying to find out any information on them other than a scanned one page brochure I found on an Altec site. I amtrying to obtain information as to original list price, and if any original parts or upgradesare available. My friend wants to sell them, but I have no clue as to what to tell him abouttheir current value since they obviously were not one of Altec's more popular or collectableproducts. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genek Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I would try the forum at Lansing Heritage:http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/They don't seem to have a forum specifically for discussing value or selling, so not sure which forum would be appropriate.

wolfenbit Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thanks for the information. From what I can gather, the -8A modelseemed to have been a definite improvement over the basic model thatmy friend has. There are 2 of them for sale on E-Bay, 1 each from2 individual sellers. Not sure how you end up with only one boatanchor of a speaker, but E-Bay does have some strange listings fromtime to time. I may offer him cash, and try to upgrade them to the -8A models.(Better crossover frequency and improved horns.) They were buried in a back room, so I have only been able to audition 1 so far.
