    Horn ID?

    Which horn is this? I know Westrex sold WE/Altec drivers. Did they sell WE/Altec horns or their own models?

    Not an Altec horn to the best of my knowledge. Construction looks like might be Vitavox, a Brit company.

    There also were other American companies doing multicells at the time...Magnavox comes to mind...

    Didn't Jensen make a few, or were they rebadged Vitavox?

    I'm thinking exposed individual cells are uncommon on Vitavox, by my recollect anyway.

    Yeah fellas, it's me, same old dufous with a new ID. I tried to update my email addy and successfully got myself blocked from posting.

    True but Vitavox would custom build anything you wanted...

    I think the Jensens were Magnavox, but wouldn't bet cash on that..

    Then of course Trusonic...

    Re: Horn ID?

    Thought about you the other day, Bowtie. Heard thru the grapevine local school was dumping some stuff...

    But jeez, at my age trying to move a tall block 454 is akin to building a pyramid...I just don't have resources and health like the old days..dang thing was only 200 bucks...but of course would have taken way more to be usable...

    Then again, would fit in my old (t)rusty Chevy pickup...
