Altec

Altec History Photo Gallery

While working at Altec in Oklahoma City during the early 80's I was present when much of the company history was being lost. They were Chapter 11 bankrupt and in time, Gulton Industries then Mark IV Industries would be their owner.

Jerry Hubbard, the Senior Acoustics Engineer and I salvaged many old photos and documents from being hauled to the dump. I thought it would be fun to post them in a photo gallery on our web site. Some are familiar, but some I haven't been able to identify.

Please take a look and if you have any comments, information on a photo, or have some you would wish to post, please contact me.
