[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters speaker.

[k0myw at att.net]

It's the R-47.

As to why it's so expensive on the used market, who knows? Some fellows like to actually use them, as they were supposed to be optimized for SSB voice work. Some collectors get all hetted up over the fact that there are at least four slightly different versions -- two with the original art deco-style "h" logo (one cast into the metal, the other painted on), one with the newer slanted/italic-style "h" logo, and a fourth that is "upside-down" for mobile mounting beneath a dashboard.

One thing I've wondered: I've seen very similar speakers bearing the Motorola logo. I wonder if Motorola made the speakers for Hallicrafters, or Hallicrafters for Motorola, or if they are entirely different units that just happen to look alike.

73,
