The Altec-Lansing Valencia 846B is an American audio classic that inspired the development of the legendary Model 19. It shares many similarities with the newer and larger Model 19. There were two versions of the Valencia: the 846A and 846B.Valencia 846BLow Frequency Driver: Altec 416-8B High/Mid Frequency Driver: Altec 806-8A High/Mid Frequency Horn: Altec 811-B Dividing Network Model:N800-8K System Impedance: 8 ohmMy son and I build custom furniture and do a lot of work using veneers and exotic woods. We are both Audio Nuts. I fell in love with Klipsch speakers in the early 1960's and have loved them since. In the last few years, we have started collecting and storing older speakers from Klipsch, Altec, JBL, and Electro Voice, mostly Klipsch. We plan to repair or replace any defective drivers or crossovers and give the enclosures a cool custom look, but not change any of the great sound.When we got this particular set, they were a little rough. However, all of the drivers sounded great. We put new capacitors in crossovers. Before we started doing the veneer work, we repaired the enclosures and sprayed them in black lacquer. These have been reveneered in Macassar Ebony. We finished off the enclosures with three coats of pre-catalyzed lacquer from Sherwin Williams. Please contact us 972.974.1820 if you have any questions or would like to see more pics from the restoration. Thanks
