[NJARC] Bluetooth Atwater Kent speaker

[David Sica]

Fitting a bluetooth receiver into a balanced armature speaker is something
we vintage radio people might be tempted to do.  Especially if alcohol was
involved.  But this thing is entirely new construction.  No original
Atwater Kent speakers were harmed (or restored) in performing this trick.
Can't tell if they're made of metal.  I doubt it.  But they look pretty
good and I bet they even sound half-decent.
