Loudspeaker
cabinet with Famet electrodynamic loudspeaker |
|
In oak cabinet with
detail in coromandel
wood, made in Dutch Art Deco style (Amsterdamse School). Front with geometric patterns and a letter "M" in
the middle. Made by A. Brandsteder, 3e Schinkelstraat
33A, Amsterdam. A Magnavox 254 loudspeaker was found
inside the cabinet, but this speaker
does not belong there. Traces were found that lead to the original
loudspeaker which could have been an electrodynamic speaker
made by Famet (also known as "Avrofoon") made in 1929-1930, mounted on a supporting board;
this loudspeaker fits perfectly. |
