I may be dead wrong, but it was my understanding that the drivers are made by great plaines, I'm not sure what the relationship is between great plaines and Iconic. When I was first "back" into altec, I learned about Great plaines from Todd's altec sight. Iconic started up and was announced on that board, stating they would be supplying repro boxes for some classic Altec, in particular the Model 19. They have been working on crossovers as well. Then came the Iconic drivers, but I don't believe Iconic manufactured them, I always understood it was great plaines. Perhaps Iconic is going to be their distibutor? As I am sure most of you know, Bill H. was one of the last altec engineers when the doors shut, and he wisely snagged up the tooling for many of the Altec products. Bill H. told me his 1" format driver was basically a 902 8A (for the 8ohm version)
So Hopefully, bill's biz will boom. For Altec drivers, it is the replacement diapram to use, both for high frequency as well as replacement cones for low frequency drivers.
Regards and enjoy,
