can you help with vintage altec lansing corp. speaker info?

Question

I need info on a speaker labled ALTEC Lansing corporation in a walnut colored vaneered triangle shaped cabinet measuring approx.36" high,38"wide,26" deep,weighs a ton and has what appears to be a 14"-15" speaker behind a tweedy fabric grille. There appears to be only the one speaker in the cabinet leading me to think it is a bottom speaker. I think it might be a voice of the theatre,but i cannot find supporting pictures of similar speaker or ads.
I have only one and would like to find another but have no idea where to look.
I know my description is sketchy.
Can anyone help a brother out?

New details... I opened the back of the speaker cabinet and found: a very large aqua- blue- green speaker labled on the center(back of cone?):
ALTEC
lansing corporation
602A
DUPLEX
made in USA
Along the bottom rim is ink stamped:
3(or S....its smeared)9531
and:
B.F.LL R.V.
Marked in white ink on the speaker paper is:
WHF5200
Also inside the cabinet is a transformer(crossover?) that is marked:
ALTEC
Dividing
Network
N-3000A
There are no other markings to be seen except for numbers at each screw on the transformer/crossover....for wiring info.
Also ,the board on which the speaker and elec. box are attatched does have a slot cut under the speaker that looks like a space for a horn...horn under woofer?
Does this help?

Answer 1

Is there a model no. or some kind of ref.no. on the back. because i am having trouble tracking it down.If it is a voice of the theater it should be written somewhere. Can you remove the cloth grill and see if anything is written .It won't hurt the speaker if you are careful.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION :

Answer 2

Double check to see that the 115V is not the voltage for the speakers - I couldn't find that model either. But it's definitely a good brand. I really like my little 2.1 Altec Lansing computer speaker system.

Answer 3

It sounds like it is a Voice of the Theatre speaker to me. Here's the URL where you can read about them.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Sounds like it's a sub woofer? Maybe there is only one?
