Here's a beautiful, all-original Atwater Kent Model R horn loudspeaker. Just 16" tall, it was the smallest horn speaker the company made, and it's probably the most uncommon. Its size makes it an ideal mate for any Atwater Kent breadboard radio.
Condition is excellent, close to mint. Textured chocolate paint is original, with virtually no wear evident. Clean, crisp, original AK metal tag inside the bell. No dings or dents anywhere, and the original driver is undamaged and retains its original driver cord, with pin tips still tightly adhered to the fabric sheathing.
As is the norm for AK horns with pot metal drivers, output is low, though the driver checks out properly with a multimeter at 1300 ohms.
Shipping weight approximately 18 lb
Overall, an exceptionally nice century-old radio horn that will look beautiful in any context, even if you don't collect early radios.
I'm one of ebay's best known, most highly regarded sellers of antique radios, and I specialize in radios and radio-related items from the 1920's. I've been selling and shipping them for more than 25 years. When you purchase an item from me, you can rest assured that it will arrive safely because it's been carefully packed (by me, not by some well-intentioned but nonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store who wouldn't know a radio from a radiator), Sure, you can probably get a lower price from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your "bargain" arrives broken, and without any hint of how you might be able to put it back together, you'll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.
