Hello you all Altec lovers,just bought my recone kit for my model 19 416 -b woofer blown away by a shorted tube in an OTL amp.My first recone job , and after comparing the reconed to the 32 yo original one decided to recone the original,the improvement in reproduction was notorious..Tomorow will order and ready for my second recone job.Advice:for the small cone holes to pass the leads use a fine heated solder tip ,worked beautifull for me.

I had read on an audiophile site that the Altec 421 had the same frame as the 416. Mine are 421-8H Series II so I chose the 416-8B recone kit and it worked perfectly and made a tremendous difference.
