This came up in my Altec search. Looks interesting....... any ideas what it is?

No one?

I would bet a hundred bucks it's not Altec or WE.

But as to what it is....I just plain don't know. Looks older to me, at least early 50's.

Yes, I agree it isn't Altec. I thought maybe WE, but I have zero to back that up. I wonder if it may be Vitavox or Klangfilm.

My first reaction frankly was Vitavox...then I started thinking, DuKane was the importer for Vitavox, EV and DuKane worked a lot together back then, at least on the ill fated T3500.
A quick Google for Vitavox horns...and I think I have a suspect...

The unofficial Vitavox website- RH330

They came possibly thru DuKane to EV...the EV T40 driver the seller has looks like it came on that horn new?

I think you found it....... although, the throat/adapter look different, I think that's the right horn.
