"Wow! Amazing!
For a larger speaker, will you try to find a cast basket? Seems they would be super difficult to find, since by the time the large 12" and 14" speakers came out in the later 30's everyone seems to have moved to…"

"Here are a couple close up shots of the front, with the doors open. I love how the doors have the cable "linkage" so they open in unison. Its little attention to details that makes Scott move above the rest!

I have used resistors in the past but not anymore. There is a good article called project Ryu, the author covers…See More
"McMurdo and also Lincoln offered this highboy, using different names.
During the AC-10 era of 1929-30, the speaker was above the receiver.
Scott also offered the Orleans for the 1931 Allwave 2-DIAL, but with the receiver above the speaker (what I…"
