    Newbie and info seeking

    Hi there

    Just after some insight and knowledge on my old 1950's (?) western electric theatre speaker.

    Anyone know model/confirm era and/or any applicable comments?

    And yes, this speaker is located in New Zealand....!
    Came from NZ's oldest surviving theatre.

    H110 cabinet. My question is whether it's pre, or post WWII.

    My WAG would be that it's from a transition time when most theater equipment was still being leased by Western Electric.

    The woofer appears to be an Altec 803B which is ~ 20 years newer than the cabinet.

    What's the story on the McCauley slant lenses?

    I have a feeling that isn't a factory cabinet. At minimum some molding has been added to the front corners. My guess is home built or dealer built.
    The woofer is too new. And the lenses didn't come with it.
    Your neighbors called. They like your music.
