Weekend pickups!

Got these at an auction this weekend. Grand total, $17.50. I spent another $15 just on an Atwater-Kent horn with no driver (not pictured).

GE J-83 (built by RCA). It has a bit of veneer damage on one side and some scratches, but is in overall nice shape. The white wire coming out of the middle has a factory-installed tag that says "Ground" - does anyone know what the black wire next to it is for?





Electrope. I have no idea who made this. The antenna coil is just laying loose on the chassis. The tuning capacitor is currently frozen, that will take a bit of work to fix. I have the other knob, but it's currently sitting on my dining-room table. Anyone know anything about it?




The tube sockets are all marked for Cunningham CX-xxx series tubes, but it has the old two-digit globe types installed.

Utah speaker, might be an A-100? Copper-oxide rectifier for the field coil wiring. Do they go bad like selenium rectifiers?





Anyone know where I could find an Atwater-Kent driver with no horn or a cone for the Utah?
