ALTEC LANSING MODEL 19, What are they worth.

[caterwalk]

Hello... have you sold the model 19's yet ????

If not where are they located ?

Thanks

I'm located in Sparland, IL. about 30 miles north of Peoria, IL. (no man's land)
Still have them and trying to sell them before I move back to Indy.

You are right. Altec Lansing Model 19 pair Just sold for $18,000. for a pair. Wish I knew some asians with money.

I know this is a late response but I wonder what my Studio Monitor Valencia's would fetch in Asia? I might have to ask my Mandarin friend to find a way to advertise for me. If 19's went for $18K, these should go for at least $20-25K.

I own 2 sets of Model 19's, one set in walnut cabinets and a mint set of the oak cabinets that I bought a few years ago from Bill Hanuschak at Great Plains Audio. The value of the Model 19's these days is directly related to the condition they are in. I've seen recent sales of the 19's on Ebay ranging anywhere from $500 to $2,500. Typically, the foam surrounds that fit around the horns have detiorated, lowering the value of the speakers. If your surrounds have deteriorated or completely rotted you can purchase a custom made set of replacements from Debbie Darst whose husband also owns a set of 19's and has manufactured nearly perfect replicas of the foam surrounds. You can contact her at ddarst2 at carolina.rr.com. (The system wouldn't let me post the e-mail addy so I had to jerry rig it - not trying to game the system, just trying to help you out here). Good luck on selling your 19's if you choose to go in that direction. I always hate to see anyone part with his 19's, but am always happy to see a pair find an appreciative new owner.

You can buy replacement compression drivers From Great Plains Audio. Replace both sides as it is an upgrade and your speakers will match after the repair.

Excellent speakers. I don't know what they are worth but I would check to make sure the foam surrounds on woof aren't rotted. They only last about 20 or 25 years. If they have, you can get them repaired.
