I have been a happy owner of JBL C40 for some time. I have found locally a pair of Altec Model 14’s. I have never heard a pair of any Altecs but they are on the list. I don’t have room for both and not really looking to tackle a project unless it’s really worth it. The owner is now deceased...

How did you like your Planar 3? It looks like there are two factory options for cartridges.

I purchased my amp off EBay, boxes from Audio Classics, walnut case shipped separately...I received it with broken face and internal repairs were needed. Some people have great experiences with EBay. Unless local I will be buying new to avoid any problems.

Suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. I have a local dealer for U-Turn. I will have to audition them.

Thanks for the quick reply!! I would need 4 bulbs. Are the two green and two red all the same bulb? If so what voltage would it be? Are they the 14v or the .08a version in the link you posted?

Anyone have a part number for the 4 factory bulbs in the power guard? I just had LED’s installed, except those. Trying to source some incandescents.

Thanks Caddy and I appreciate your input! You are always willing to help. It will be a few weeks before I receive it. The seller agreed to buy a shipping box from Mcintosh and ship the walnut cabinet separately. Shipping will be delayed but glad it should arrive safe. This is my secondary...

I’m not looking to open the whole interconnect debate, just curious what some have used. I will look for the shortest ones possible and start there I suppose.
