TOTAL AUDIO                SPEAKER RE-CONING & OTHER SERVICES

TOTAL AUDIO has a vast inventory of both new old stock ( N.O.S. ) and current production parts to rebuild your old ALTEC  drivers to make them sound like new. We have been re-coning and rebuilding drivers for over 20 years. When they arrive back to you they will look brand new and will sound better then when you last heard them.  

MYTH: N.O.S. vs. Current Production. Contrary to popular opinion out in the Altec world that the N.O.S. parts are vastly superior to the stuff made today is just plain false.  Admittedly, the collectors do prefer original equipment. the reality is the current stuff sounds every bit as good if not better. The glues and adhesives used in today's construction are much better. the old "bakealite" rings on the HF drivers were prone to crack and warp. ALSO, The 515G cone is a much better design then the one used 515B. This vastly improves the sound of the 515, especially if you are using the smaller cabinets ( 825/828/816/817). The 515 & 515B were originally  designed for use in the mammoth 210/211 cabinets.
