[DCboatanchors] RE: [Boatanchors] Need help with Hallicrafters speaker

[Ken Simpson, W8EK]

It turns out this is an R-47, which apparently matches the SX-115,
SX-122, and probably many others.

Here is some information on it:

Hallicrafters began production of this compact and handsomely styled
speaker in 1959.  It was especially designed for superior SSB and other
voice applications.  It has essentially flat response from 300 to 2850
c.p.s., drops off rapidly in output beyond cut off points.  Its input
impedance is 3.3 ohms.  It is 5 1/2 X 5 1/4 X 3 1/2 inches and weighs
2.5 pounds.

This one has the hallicrafters name and logo as part of the casting of
the bezel.  Apparently some had a decal.

It is available if any one would like it.

Thanks.

73,

Ken, W8EK
