Altec 32 Horn Nomenclature

This Altec 32 horn update was prompted by this must read article from Electravolt tracing how the Altec 32 horn evolved from the Western Electric 32A.

Altec 32A

Cast aluminum + longer throat


Altec 32B

Plastic + shorter throat

Probably a very short run, rarely seen in the market
Note: no ribs


Altec 32C

Same as 32B but with re-enforcing ribs

Note: re-enforcing ribs
