Re: Altec 438a & 1591
location might help with the sale and pics too. What input modules do the units have? 1588b,c, or a?

Re: Altec 438a & 1591
Thanks guys - have update my deets. Based in Bunbury WA but in Perth regularly and can obviously post!!
I have the 1588a in my 1591. The 438 has a 4651a. Both in good shape however the 438 is in remarkably good condition!! Almost looks unused!!
Will post pics shortly. If anyone is seriously interested Im happy to post very detailed pics too…
Thanks
