Thanks Everyone!

I just received a pair of Altec 421a drivers I bought through ebay.
Both are pretty poorly done re-cones, and one has a VC rubbing beyond about 1mm of travel.
Of course, both were listed as being in "Fully tested and in excellent condition".
So I'm really bummed-out now.

I may be done with buying used drivers. I've had some good luck in the past, but it seems like everyone is just dumping their junk now.

One one of the other threads, someone was talking about the Kappalite 3015lf. If I can get my $ back for these lousy 421a's, I may just pop for a pair of those. I know the 200 series 2x15 cab is too small, but it's probably too small for the E140's I have in there now anyway. I was just hoping that the Altec 421a's would give me a little more deep bass out of it than the E140's. That was the case in my Ampeg B15...which is another too small for the driver cab.

So, any thoughts on the E140 vs the 3015lf in the K200 2x15 box? So much for trying to stay close to "factory/period correct".
