[R-1051] R-1051 Speakers

OK I see the pictures. I wondered how on earth someone would have ever
obtained either KY-7 or KW-37. As far as I know they were to be completely
destroyed when removed from service. I think and I may be wrong they used
small pencil style tubes. But I could easily be confusing that with
something else from way back then.
There was nothing like the buzzsaw sound of a UCC1 mux running over HF.
