Take it from someone that has had JBL, Altec and ElectroVoice reconing training at the factories, this was exceptionally well done. I'd love to know where they got an edgewound voice-coil made! That's the secret to JBL, Altec and E-V as well. That edgewound voice-coil is why all three are at least 3dB more effficent than almost any other type of speaker (with the possible excptions of Cetec, Gauss and Stephens-Trusonic and certain Peavey speakers which had edgewound coils as well.). I'm afraid those days are gone forever now with the bulk of speakers cheaply mass-produced in China. These folks did a really fine job, right down to the original style vented dust cap.
What about someone like AudioFrog today? I don't know anything about speakers/sound, but I recently have put some money into a car system that I hope will end up sounding really good once I can finish it up by getting a DSP and Tweeters. This definitely looks like a lost art to the USA. Even the AudioFrog speakers that I purchased are made in China. China's issue isn't that they make everything low quality nor that they don't know quality. China's issue is that you have to be on-top of their quality, or they will cut corners any way they possibly can. On top of that, the companies that use China will try to cut all of the corners possible also. I ran a small business and used China manufacturing. It is possible to have a quality product made in China. The issue will be finding a lot of people who are willing to pay the price you will need to charge for the quality.

Everyone use edgewound ribbon voice coil by now, and 95% of them are made in Asia, including Precision Ecowind USA. It was a secret of JBL in the 70's.
18Sound has plenty of edge wound woofers... so those days haven't gone just yet.
I think no need to send it to factories. it can be done who has know how to repair speaker. in my country repair of speakers was being done in the street of RAON QUIAPO Manila Philippines.
Mantap sekali terus berkarya bang.....

Hebat gan, berdasarkan pengalaman yg ngga semua orang bisa dapatkan, yg sulit adalah, buat coil baru, lem yg sudah baku, ngga sembarangan orang bisa, keren gan, dan luar biasa...

Very nice restoration process, congratulations ! However, a rebuilt like this (or any other speaker) does not guarantee that the speaker will sound like the original one - materials will never be the same, specially decades later! There are many variables that influence final performance: wire thickness, copper purity and resistance; total coil weight; cone paper quality & thickness; quantity of glue applied.... and the list goes on with other minor details. Sometimes the speaker gets better than the original one since some modern materials can be better. But what matters here is the the restoration process, which was fully accomplished, thanks for sharing !
Claudio and I thank you for your comments of course what you say is true. Behind the limitations I apologize and thank you for enlightening. Have a nice day.
Get the Loudspeaker Design Cookbook by Vance Dickason. It addresses the "System" and its alignment to tune the frequency response thru crossovers and cabinet design.
......"does not guarantee that the speaker will sound like the original one" ...... Looks to me like they made a VAST IMPROVEMENT to the original one, but a side-by-side audio comparison is in order !!
@@TIMEtoRIDE900 They used a coil of normal copper wire, instead of flat copper tape like the original. That is not an improvement. Either way, the love put into the work is appreciated. Congratulations!
@@TIMEtoRIDE900 He did an amazing job! But altec voice coils were unique. On top of that, we of course don't have the tolerances and specs of how deep the voice coil is versus the original. But all that being said, it is an excellent speaker now, and I'd love to hear it in a properly sized sealed enclosure
That is the most amazing, skilful, successful restoration I have seen on KZhead! I'm blown away!
I completely agree! AMAZING!
True haha, he did a very good job with that one
I was serviser in hi fi and what i can say this is so fake i cant belive what he do... Just waisting time....
@@dimtodim how is it fake? Lol
@@abelscaliber7969 that way how he rebuild speaker is impossible.
Amazing to watch. The speaker looked beyond salvage at the start and these craftspeople made it perfect! So much skill and so much done by hand! Brilliant work!!!

Great work by a truly gifted craftsman. Wish you had added some more explanations about : - the products used on each step, glues etc. - the work done to refresh the internal and external surfaces where the coil moves into. Obviously the width of this gap must be as little modified as possible, but the surfaces must be made perfectly smooth again, so it’s certainly one of the most delicate steps. Other than that, a wonderful restoration of a speaker that most people would have thought to be destroyed beyond any hope of repair !! 👍👍👍
Luar biasa sekali abang-abang ini, kreatif sangat, kerjanya halus, hasilnya mantap, saya suka sekali ❤️ Terus berkarya dan sukses 👍 Salam pemula 🙏
Terimakasih banyak dukunganya sukses selalu

it sounds amazing from a cell phone and without a cabinet, imagine listening to this beauty live in a room and within a proper enclosure. Amazing restoration !
You have to be really stupid
@@bakunawa534 Why though?
What? From a cell phone? LOL, looks like you have never been in a cinema in the 70s with their Quadra-track sourround sound system used on films like Earthquake, towering Inferno, etc. Would you get that blasting sound on your mobile?
I agree with Frank Mayer,..this sounds great on my phone...I think yall are missing the point
@@woodgrainstudios7321 the point is our phones cannot replicate nowhere near the sound quality of the speaker..... You happened to be another 🥴
Always love to see true craftsmen at work. All the handwork is efficient, precise and so well executed. A beautiful job and a wonderful vintage speaker good for another 50+ years. Well done gentlemen!
Amazing this restoration and well deserving for the almost 2 million views (as of April 2022). The speaker at the start of the video looked as though it had been left out in the rain/wind/elements. Congratulations on your work!
Only people that work on audio speakers can truly appreciate the level of detail and craftsmanship exhibited. What a beautiful job. The techniques and skill are next level Wayne Gretzky pinnacle of performance.

Old Altec Lansing speakers are the best, they sound great. I have 2 pre 80's, one meter high, stereo speaker boxes that sounds great with a 180 Watt amplifier when playing 45 rpm vinyl and LP 33 rpm records on a turntable. The tall speaker boxes have 2 x 10 inch bass speakers, 2 x 6 inch mid range and 2 x 4 inch tweeters each, boasting beautiful, rich, natural sound. 😀
ApA
I threw my speakers together way back in 1978. Speaker box size is 812H x 520W x 407D. They each contain one 15" woofer, two mid-range, and four tweeters. Plus they are mirror images of each other rather than identical. I have only had to replace the outer foam ring for each woofer. Total cost was $27 CAD.
Friend of mine brought out some 80's Klipsch speakers once at a studio . Just 2 of them blew away the system they were using .
REAL NICELY DONE MAN...FROM BEGINNING TILL THE END!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I accidentally subscribed. Now I am glad I did. It's been decades since I held a vintage speaker, and to see how beautifully this one was brought back, has brought back happy memories. Keep up the good work.
Great job. I love when people fix old things…very cool!

Thank you for the support @Rezza Beykay good luck.
The Altec 515 (and 416) is one of the most famous drivers in all of audio. Early AlNiCO versions like this one are highly sought after.
what were they used in?
They seem pretty easily obtainable. I found them starting around $200 each.
@@themadmallard They used these in Movie Theaters mostly behind the screen for bass and voice and on the walls were surround speakers as well! Great speakers!

You guys look like you have so much fun doing this its great
I have 2 Voice of the Theater speakers with the 515 speakers. They are in the model 19 oak cabinet. I used to sell Altec audio equipment. In my opinion these were the best speaker ever made. Sitting in front of them playing a half speed master vinal record of Neal Diamond "Hot August Night" you would think you are in a live concert.
ALTEC LANCING 515 were used in movie theaters from 1961 to 1971... high-efficiency drivers used in conjunction with a midrange horn produce high SPL levels... desirable to audiophiles today, they were referred to as the "Voice of the Theater"
Extremely desirable. A pair of Voice of the Theater speakers are my dream speakers.
Cool story bro!
It’s weird and fascinating how that speaker replacement basket looks just like the Peavey scorpion woofers 15425(4Ohm)and 15825(8Ohms), accept the magnet is different on The Peavey speaker replacement basket.
I had one of those once (no cabinet) Beautifully made, I sold it for far less than it was worth even back then, of course regretted it ever since.
Wah....! Hebat sungguh saya tidak menyangka kalau ini Chanel anak bangsa. Terus lah berkarya saya bangga semoga berkembang dan sukses selalu. Tambahan sedikit, berilah keterangan tentang ukuran nama bahan dan lain lain yang dianggap perlu.Terima kasih.

very nice job nice HP thank you for the video
The size and mass of that alnico magnet is nothing short of amazing. The magnet of a typical alnico guitar loudspeaker is a fraction of the size.
It's inside magnet, not outer ring, as you can see at the opening. Also the driver use 76mm coil, thus field gap, while guitar driver us 38mm coil.
That is true for the most part. However, the JBL D and K series speakers have a 4" voice coil and huge alnico magnet, and are my favorite guitar speaker.
Wow... truly remarkable craftmanship! Awesome to watch. I can't figure out how the voice coil gets aligned so precisely that it doesn't get scraped by the magnet. I thought there'd have to be some sort of precision jig to align the parts when gluing them down.
Weh ternyata satria speaker muncul di beranda, baru tau ada channel KZhead 😁 Tempat Repasasi speaker yang sangat fenomenal, semoga terus berkembang dan sukses

Totally amazing...I bet some of the old guys from Altec and JBL who have seen this are saying to themselves "those boys are good" and they'd be right. Good old fashioned hand tools, a steady hand and a good parts source. I am seriously impressed.
Nice work! Some very steady and experienced hands in there. So nice to see what appears to be an abandoned old driver fully restored like that.
Remarkable restoration. I enjoyed this.

Sensacional o trabalho de restauração! Great! from Brasil .
Itu memang orang indo mas orang jawa
More than likely , they've improved the driver significantly more than it was originally ! Through R&D , the materials and technology used on sound reinforced speaker , and cabinet design , are always improving . Can't say as much for the pricing , YIKE'S!!!!!
That's a generic made voice-coil, notably inferior to the flatwound high-temp original.
Amazing restoration guys. Good job 👏👍

GREATEST JOB ❗️no box but no problem , good sound , amazing ❗️
Eu também restauro Alto fantes de nível até pior com imã Souto ou amassados e muito bom ver eles tocando novamente
Muito interessante o seu trabalho . Eu não sabia que os imãs de alnico poderiam passar pelo desmagnetizador . Tenho várias caixas acústicas que eu mesmo construí e todas usam alto falantes de alnico , tanto graves , médios e agudos da década de 60 e estão em perfeito estado . Como são antigos , tive que combinar Jensen , Motololla , Hepnner , Zenith , Pionner , com as impedâncias de 8 ohms , casados com um divisor de frequências Bravox BD36 da década de 80 que por sorte encontrei à venda ainda na caixa . Aqui no Brasil , não se da tanto valor a esse tipo de alto falantes , daí processar uma reforma se torna difícil , quase impossível . Um abraço , meus parabéns pelo capricho .

Great work and craftsman ship returning a classic back to service!
Very nice job at restoring the speaker. Glad to see it got a new life.
IDK If I'd call the older speakers 🔊 beautiful sounding? LMAO but they are definitely works of art by how their constructed and their simplicity of how well made they were! But some of them do sound really nice and I've had some Blaupunkts in a HiFi which sounded better than some modern designed speakers 🔊that I can definitely give credit to lol!
Hi Jim we value all opinions. About what is good and best I think it goes back to how people experience hearing from a speaker. Have a nice day. Thank You
Well, people vote with their wallets and quite often they buy old equipment like this or by MacIntosh, Crown, etc... or in the guitar world Marshall, Fender, etc... and apparently the prevailing opinion is that there's something to be said for the old school products compared to what's made today. Not saying I agree... but I can't help but say I was wondering how much they wanted for that speaker by the time it was all finished!!
Beautiful restoration on this speaker! They use these in movie theaters and guitar amps! Very powerful and could take a lot of power as well!
Simply beatiful restoration
Beautiful my friend so well done🎉
Nice restauration, its good to see good things can have a second life ! (Love that!) The way quality of old materials is in most cases better then modern. The only thing I can give you advice on is your safety, not using cloves, glases or mouth gear will cause you harm in the long run, also safely disgard chemicals to protect nature. Keep up the nice work and "Play-In" those puppies well ! Maybe hard to find matching pairs ;)
🙂👏You did very nice for restoration by the way how many watt RMS & speaker impedance & what size of the speaker?
Looks to be rather low watt rated.... and my guess 16 ohms to suit old valve amps. The 515B is a 15" bass driver. Personally, I don't know why old rich dudes (no doubt with age related hearing loss) pay big money for old gear and ridiculous 'monster' cables, when reputable modern manufacturers like JBL and Electro Voice offer far higher performance drivers designed using modern technology... come a long way since the 50's, man.
@@BTW... -- It's the aesthetic component of 'the components', man! My Dad was a fine self-realized organist and electronics genius, and he would dig this. It's about being in touch with history, literally. There's something about the tangible qualities of old gear, not unlike the experience of leafing through a CD liner or poring over a vintage LP cover and sleeve for lyrics, production information and cool artwork. Contrast that with 99-cent MP3 downloads of mediocre quality that have no physical medium accompanying them. Many modern cars could out-muscle or otherwise technically outshine almost any classic vehicle from years ago, but they're not likely to similarly endure as endearing cultural icons because scant few of them impart an equivalent or even approximate sense of romance and depth of character. What kid in 2050 is going to wax nostalgic about his grandfather's Toyota Yaris? Maybe three in all of America and one in South Africa. I can appreciate the nerd aspects of any niche interest, but to take the counterpoint to your comment, I can't see any other reason why rich young dudes with age-related arrogance would pay thousands of dollars for amplifiers or 'reference quality' speakers that, on a realistic level, yield performance superlatives *_only_* perceptible with sophisticated testing equipment. I have an excellent 'ear', and that geeked-out bullshit has always made me shake my head. Yes, modern gear is specification-superior, but I love this old speaker and the dedication given to its resurrection. It was well-made, yet I will say that my obsessive self has a problem with the name and ratings badge being so slipshod in its placement. ; ] Check out this video. Here's a textbook example if not *_the_* definition of ridiculous superfluousness -- and I love it, as arguably inane as it might be in some ways. kzhead.info/sun/Z8ZrebOHn3yjq68/bejne.html EDIT: Here's a bit of a 'spoiler' for the TL;DR attention-deficient types who at least skipped to the end of my comment. The video is about a nerdy 'old rich dude' who could afford to lavish time, finances and exacting attention to detail on the pursuit of his passion as an audiophile.
the brush and the spoon technique is just awesome , thanks for the video
I live in Lansing Michigan, it's amazing to see Altec so far away. They make some great speakers to this day.
