Is the Altec Lansing ada885 in good condition?
CLR Solutions has cleaned, tested, factory reset, and found this Altec Lansing ADA885 to be in good working condition. Because of the age of the capacitors, after the speakers are left unplugged for an extended time, they will need to be plugged in for 15-30 minutes before they power on properly.
Where does the power transformer go on an Altec Lansing?
Gently pull the speaker out – there’s only about 8″ of cable available so find a SAFE place to lean it. Notice the absolutely gorgeous toroidal power transformer in the cavity. Some wires go up through the particle board to the cable you unplugged, and other wires go to a box, bolted to the underside of the particle board.
Can you connect a PC speaker to a RCA jack?
However, do not connect them to a “speaker” output – only a a “line” or “audio” level. Since PC speakers use 1/8″ (3.5mm) stereo plugs you will most likely need an adapter to convert 1/8′ stereo to RCA jacks. You should be able to find that at Radio Shack.
