Bakelite cabinet
with gold coloured cloth. At this moment the cabinet
contains a loudspeaker with exciter coil and volume
control, made by Goodmans Industries, Wembley,
Middlesex, England. Established in 1932,
the company used to be famous for the manufacture of
loudspeakers, although now its principle business is the
importing and distribution of consumer electronics
goods. The cabinet is by
Gecophone. Originally a 30 cm moving iron loudspeaker was used
in this cabinet. A newer loudspeaker was probably fitted so
it could be used for wire broadcasting.
