This listing is for an Early Pair of Altec The Laguna 830A 830-A Speaker Systems with 803A 803-A Woofers. The speakers are in good working condition and sound wonderful. In some collector's opinion they are some of Altec's best sounding vintage speakers. They have a very full and expressive sound and are very versatile with all types of music. They are the early version of the The Laguna 830A and came with the 803A woofers. The later version used 803B woofers with the red/orange cloth surrounds. All of the drivers and speakers look to be original including the woofer cones. The components used in both of these early The Laguna 830A Speaker Systems consist of a pair of 803A 15" woofers, 802D and 511B high frequency driver/horn assembly and a N-500D crossover with attenuator control in both of the cabinets.

There have been many pictures taken of the pair of The Laguna Speaker Systems both outside and inside with both flash and natural light to give the future owner as realistic as possible idea of the cosmetic condition of the speakers. One of the speakers which has the original speaker grill cloth has not been touched up cosmetically and the blemish of a minimal veneer missing is detailed in the pictures otherwise this speaker is in terrific condition. As per the pictures the first The Laguna Speaker System is serial number 179.  The second speaker which is missing the grill cloth has had some repair/restoration work don to it. For some reason someone who had the speaker previously decided to cut the legs of the cabinet  and I think that the cabinet may have sat in a garage or something of sorts and the floor of the cabinet had to be replaced. The bottom of the cabinet was replaced and can be seen in the pictures, the original insulation was was fine and was attached to the bottom as it was on the original bottom piece. The legs were redone (from specs of another The Laguna) and attached details are pictured. Sitting in garage the top was also affected and the top was re-veneered and it is pictured. As per the pictures the second The Laguna 830A Speaker System serial number 142.

Due to age the speakers are Being Sold AS IS.
