Looking For Radios using Lansing Speakers
Hi all:
I am trying to track down the earliest examples of James B. Lansing's work for our website. These were radio speakers made in Salt Lake City in 1926-27. My hope is to make contact with someone that has a radio with these speakers and hopefully get photographs to add to our site. The details of Jim Lansing's start in the radio speaker business is detailed here: http://www.audioheritage.org/html/pe...s/peterson.htm We have come across examples of Lansing speakers made in Los Angeles after 1927, but none from Salt Lake City. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated. |
Utah speakers?
Don,
You mention a speaker manufacturing plant in Salt Lake City. Is there any connection with this location and the now defunct brand of speakers known as Utah? I remember seeing Utah drivers in the Allied Radio catalogue when I was a kid. Rob |
There is no connection between the Utah brand and Lansing's Salt Lake City business. There may have been a connection to the Baldwin Radio Company, which dispite its name, was primarily in the headphone and loudspeaker business. You can read about them here:
http://historytogo.utah.gov/hmruin.html I have never been able to find anything substantive about the Utah loudspeaker company on the net. There is one obscure reference that indicates they were in business by the 1920's. I believe that by the 50's, they had a Chicago address. They seem to have dissapeared in the 60's. |
