[R-1051] R-1051 Speakers

[ROSS HOCHSTRASSER]

 I also have an R-1051  mounted in a rack with the usual suspects, R-390,388,SP-600 etc and have a 12 inch coaxial hifi speaker with a switch  to monitor all of these radios. (the 1051 uses 2 switch positions)  FWIW, I have a barn full of older stereo console speakers from Magnavox, Zenith, Grundig, Telefunken etc that  are doing  no one  any good! If anyone wants/needs a loose speaker(s) , I have dozens. The 10-12 inch console speakers sound great with the boatanchors and you can use  the cheap line match (70.7 volt PA) transformers as well.  You'll need to build a box or baffle to mount them.  Let me know what you want/need!!My kids will chuck them in a dumpster when I croak! 73 Ross W1EKG
