Wow, what a find! At today’s annual swap meet for the Puget Sound Antique Radio Association, I was very lucky. I picked up this small multicell horn with a 175 driver attached. The seller wanted $40.00. I immediately produced two twenties, no haggle whatsoever. Before I even got it to the car another local Lansing Heritage fan had offered me $400.00. I declined, I want to keep this horn.
The driver has continuity (it clicks really nice with a battery), but I guess would rather not break the seals to examine the diaphragm.
A visit to the site library revealed the following (please correct me if I am wrong). This appears to be a D175H horn/driver (the horn appears to be a H-1000) which was sold from 1948 to 1950, and used in the D1004, 5 ,6 corner systems, as well as the D1000, 2 ,3 (and the D1050) systems.
Wow, this may have been made while Jim Lansing was still alive.
Any other information on this item (or the speaker systems that used it) would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Izzy
