V1143J Vox Beatle Deluxe w/Altec Lansing 417-8C Speakers
Most guitar amplifiers built in the 50's and 60's utilized "stock" stamped frame speakers manufactured by Jensen, Oxford, Utah or Celestion. Many were clamoring for a more "premium" speaker option from Vox. In response, Thomas Organ offered an optional upgrade in certain 1968 US Vox amplifier models to either Altec Lansing or JBL speakers.
Thomas Organ offered an optional upgrade to JBL D-120F speakers in the V1143J Vox Beatle and V1133J Vox Royal Guardsman amps. Thomas also offered, as a slightly more affordable option, Altec Lansing guitar speakers in the V1143A Vox Beatle Deluxe, V1133A Vox Royal Guardsman, the V1123A Vox Buckingham and the V1154A Vox Viscount amplifiers. The stamped frame speakers originally supplied with any of these models were replaced with cast frame Altec Lansing 417-C8 speakers.
The Altec equipped Beatle Deluxe speaker cabinet was adorned with a nameplate that featured an image of an orchestra conductor and the brand name "Altec," similar to the logo shown above. This Altec logo was affixed to bottom center of the speaker cabinet grill. |
