Radio Speaker Like Chandelier (May, 1932)

Radio Speaker Like Chandelier

LOUD speakers which are placed in or on top of your receiving set cabinet are now being supplanted by a new amplifier that hangs from the ceiling like a beautiful metal chandelier.

The new amplifier is made up of a number of tone tubes which not only amplify the sounds but also give musical notes a rich tone. Each tube tones one note. Any electrical connection may be used between receiving set and chandelier.

  1. The tubes provide a warm room as well as a warm sound.

  4. I like the art deco look about it. Never mind whether or not it works as advertised.

  5. One of the local quacks was advertising something that looked like that as a cure for cancer. Apparently the victim was supposed to be hooked up to it in some way.
