The million dollar question in my mind was "Which Altec to build?". Thankfully, original build plans for Altecs were available online at the Altec Library @ lansingheritage.org. After much reading and discussions with Rajiv, I finally decided to build the A7s. Here is how an Altec A7 looks:

Plan was to build an original A7 and tweak it on an ongoing basis to get better sound. During the build, I have tried to implement many of the tweaks recommended by the "Sound Practices"article.
I found these below links very useful as this kind fellow enthusiast has shared redrawn Altec A7 plans and the Horn Flare Drawing:
