Tonsil Alton 80 loudspeakers. Classic Vintage. Fully revitalized.
In 1958, the Association of the Electronic Industry and the Association of the Teletechnical Industry were created in Warsaw, and became part of the Ministry of Heavy Industry. Three years later, the two units were merged to form the Association of the Electronic and Teletechnical Industry UNITRA, and in 1971 after the separation of the Industrial Group of Light Sources Polam and the Association of the Teleelectronic Industry Telkom, the name of the organization was changed again, this time to the Association of the Electronic Industry Unitra, and the “Unitra” prefix was added to all of its enterprises – (e.g. Unitra-Eltra). Within Unitra there were many factories throughout Poland, including: Diora, Tonsil, Radmor, Polkolor and Fonica. Another division of the organization took place in 1978, when The Association of Electronic Components and Materials Industry Unitra-Elektron (associating factories producing electronic components and professional equipment) and the Association of the Electronic Industry Unitra-Dom (associating factories producing consumer electronics) were created. In January 1982, the associations of Unitra -Elektron and Unitra-Dom were terminated, but in May of the same year, at the request of the directors of enterprises, 30 founding units formed the Association of Electronic Industry Enterprises UNITRA. However, due to political changes of 1989 it was also liquidated. The individual enterprises that became independent tried to keep afloat, but with various effects. Many of them went bankrupt. UNITRA Foreign Trade Enterprise founded in 1973, has been operating until today, currently as Unitra Trading Company S.A. it offers headphones, loudspeakers and gramophone accessories.
ALTON 80 are classic, or even legendary, Tonsil loudspeakers with a characteristic selective sound, in which sophisticated altos are beautifully revealed. The 25 cm diameter woofer makes the bass full and spacious, completing the diversity of music scene. Adjustable crossover enables the listener to choose the preferred level of high and medium tones.
The enclosures have been completely revitalized. The front panel is made of exotic sapeli wood, the rest is made of doussie. High quality finishing screws. Speaker grilles painted with high quality car paint. The wood finish is Chinese oil produced from natural oils. The wood is very pleasant to the touch.
