    I know that 422/418 cones break up sooner than the 416, which is problematic for HiFi use. I may mock up that 422 to use in one of my open baffles when I take the 604s out of them.....

    Let's take this thread back to the 70's

    I'm just old enough to remember the early internet, windows 3.1 and 95. I did have a Commodore 64 setup which predates me by a few years. Sold that for a pile of cash. As for the "glory days" all the girls hated me and all the cars sucked. Had to nerd out to not go crazy.

    The 422 is supposed to be like a 418, it has an alnico magnet and an aluminum dust cap. IDK maybe it's actually a bass speaker..... Univox U-320apb I think. 7591a outputs, has reverb and tremolo

    Another Altec fanatic! Excellent! I'm working on Stonehenge-esque cabinets to put my 604-8Ks in. I also have some 811 horns and some 416 and 422 woofs around just in case......

    I think the cam motor in my bx-300 is original and untouched. How screwed am I?

    Micro Seiki DQX-500 Turntable resto-mod

    I'm curious because of the ultra low mass of that tonearm. I almost bought one years ago to use on my Wrek o Kut but didn't...... The silicone damping system is worth using IMO, I have the KAB one on my Technics and and have an Audiocraft tonearm that has it too.

    HDMI To RCA Possible ?

    Yeah the 1250 is close to/is TOTL, none of the surround sound BeePeeCee will touch it. I'm in the "a high quality two channel sound system is fine for movies" camp. Highly controversial I know......

    KLH Model 717

    I'd probably just get a cheapo audio technica turntable (they have built in phono preamps) and a $20 class D amp off of scamazon. Or you could go the crosley rega route lol
