  • Straight neck horn speaker.  Horn turns in the socket in any direction without moving the base.  A pair of ordinary headphones clamped to it serve as the driver. The horn diaphragm is located in the base.

    First advertised in late 1922 (1923 Model) for a highly polished aluminum finish. The 1924 Model changed the finish to aluminum with an indestructible black finish. No advertiising found after early 1924 so most likely a short 2 year production run.

    Similar model is King Am-Pli-Tone.
