WTB Wanted WE 755A and/or Altec 618 cabs

[jeb98]

I’m sure this is a longshot….I found a single early 755A, the early version with the zinc silver colored finish. I’m looking for a second.

Mine came in the KS-12046 cabinet but I’d be happy just for the 755A.

Also looking for a single or a pair of the 8 inch version of the Altec 618 slant front cabinet.

Best,

Jonas

Nice find!! I'll keep an eye out for one if you'll watch for the 728B that I need...

 

[jeb98]

Thanks! I was pretty happy to find it, wasn't very cheap, I've owned a few in the past but now it's time to revisit...

I'll keep my eyes peeled for that 728B!

Bump...

I've seen some nice looking replica cabs on eBay but I assume you only want an original. I had someone build me a replica Altec 612 cab for a 605 build and it looks virtually identical to the original.

Best of luck with this. I'm jealous.

I remember a guy in Texas was making replica cabs, but I can't find them anymore. If anyone knows the sellers ebay name that would be great. I am debating making some my own as faithful as possible to the originals as possible.

I believe his ebay name is projectorcollector. That's the guy I was speaking with before I contracted with Joe Stewart of Toronto to build my 612 replicas.

Bump, still looking.... doubt there are many around.

Why not have John build you some cabinets?

First I need to find a 2nd 755a, then I’ll think about cabinets. John does amazing work and he built me some amazing 757a cabinets before.

Thanks! I’m looking for the Western Electric version if possible to make a good match. That one also has some condition issues but please keep ‘em coming!
