[R-1051] R-1051 Speakers

[Tom Chirhart]

Paul, as a Retired Chief Radioman I think I can speak freely.. the LS-474 is only needed by the collector that wants everything original. Same for the LS-206 for the die hard R-390 crowd. Most speakers with a matching transformer will work. Using the audio patch panels in Radio Central we could patch any receiver to any speaker or multiple speakers throughout the ship. We patched speakers to the bridge etc.. I use amplified Radio Shack speakers routinely but the flashback memories is why I have the matching speakers... 
best 73’s to all us R-1051 owners out there.. if you are headed South along I-95 in Virginia I might have an interest in your R-1051. Send photos! I’m in Virginia just 5 miles south of Quantico...
