Altec 605's or ?

I bought today what I think is a pair of Altec 605 speakers. However, I'm having trouble finding information on the web on how to distinguish between 604's, and at least a couple of different 605 models. Were different models put in a variety of cabinets? Thanks very much if you can point me at any information. I'll add pictures if I can figure out how to do it.

The 605 was less efficient and apparently duller sounding Forcing Altec to reinstate the 604.

If anyone can identify these by sight, I took a bunch of pictures of them today.

Good luck with Great Plains Audio. I called them regarding my Valencia 846A’s. I left a VM, and didn’t receive a call back. Perhaps I will give it one more shot. Not directly related but I have a friend who uses Altec 756 drivers, and likes them very much compared to the much lauded 755. I have not heard his setup yet, but plan to soon.
