Altec Model 19 - which caps for crossovers

If there working why mess with them? You now have your version of model 19 not a true model 19. Altering collectibles decreases there value.

not sure what you mean by altering....if the old capacitors are aged and not holding the values changing them "sensible" alternative is the only way to re-surrect the speakers to its "original" sound....

Difference lies between repairing restoring or modifying.If original working collectible why mess with it? If damaged of coarse repair.

Not to hijack here, but along the same lines I am mulling the conundrum Johnk presents. My recently acquired Flamencos are in rough physical shape and I am thinking of refinishing the cabinets and making some mods (mostly aesthetic) along the way. It's something I am having to work up the courage to do since I want to respect their originality but I simply don't like the way they look.

Of course I am having similar thoughts about updating the crossovers. My answer so far is to save the original crossovers and build entire new ones so that I can always go back to stock.

Back to topic--Ivana, thanks for sharing about the caps. I am going to put them on my list.

Old caps are not working properly so I have to change them. I just wanted to hear your experience. Thanks to all of you
