Altec Lansing Model 14 crossover help (long)

High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

First I'd like to introduce myself to the asylum. I have been lurking here on AA for a couple months, (mostly in Hi-Eff & Vintage forums), and have been assembling a very modest vintage system. Dynaco PAS3/ST-70, Pioneer CTF-900, RT-909, VPI Jr. TT, and several pairs of vintage speakers. This forum is really excellent for a neophyte like myself. Looking forward to sharing.
My plan is to retsore these Altec speakers for use with my Eico HF-12's. I have zero background in retsoring electronics but I didn't let that stop me from buying a variac, DMM, and a soldering station in hopes of learning to restore/mod my equipment, and build a DIY preamp kit later on. I thought I'd just "jump in" and go from there. Unfortunately my first "project" is the Altec's and I'm not sure how to procede with rebuilding the model 14 crossovers without a schematic or a working example. I recently purchased a pair of Model 14s on ebay in need of restoration. The cabinets are in pretty good shape, and horns are supposed to be in excelent shape. Unfortunately I can't tell as they were missing both woofers and the crossovers although included, weren't connected. They seem complete, but I have no idea what they should look like. I assume I can pick up another woofer from Great Plains, but was hoping to obtain any info on how to rebuild the crossovers. Anyone have any ideas how I can obtain help, or is there someone that provides this service?
Thanks in advance!
Mike
