It was a tough decision, but I traded the beautiful Amplion speaker for a scarce authentic "Vocarola" speaker that was designed to go with my 1922 Westinghouse RC. A very primitive looking thing, but, along with the radio, this was Frank Conrad's vision of a complete home receiver. The performance isn't impressive, but it's okay. You're only sensible choice to was hang it on the wall by it's rear bracket.

I finished detailing my Vocarola. With a removal of a dent in the front, paint touch-ups, an repro decal, and a homemade driver cap to hide the non-factory "Dictograph" nickel-plated driver, it's looking good again. The driver cap is deeper than the original, but, from what I read, I believe it plays better than the original driver. The clarity and volume level of the RC and the Vocarola is surprisingly good!

Wow, that is just too darn cool.
Love the tiny shelves for individual radios.

It is kind of amazing, looking into a Crosley 50, that there are really enough parts to make it work.. (And amazingly well, for a 1 tube set)

BTW, thanks toxcrusadr. To me the way you display these sets is important. The shelves are actually "floating" shelves used with brackets. My own idea. |

Same here. It started at about 10-12 and has never gotten old for me!
