Altec 890A Bolero questions

I think they look great, Dyche. Good work.

Do you have the Altec emblems for the grills?

Thanks! I don't have the badges. I do have a pair of Maderas that, for some reason, have two sets of badges: one on the grill and one glued to the front of the cabinet. I was thinking of prying off one set and using it for the Boleros.

Which badges are used on the Bolero?

Good question. I don't think I have ever seen the badge on an early model 890A, but here is a picture of the badge on a later-model 890C.

Thanks for the "how to" as I picked up a pair of 890b's just a few months back. Can't wait to get at 'em and you did all the heavy lifting for me.

No problem! They are quite easy to work on. Just make sure you seal the drivers back in with mortite or plumbers tape or something. That makes a big difference for the bass response.
