this is the legendary western electric 555 field coil horn driver. these drivers from the 1920s were part of the first PA system ever mass produced. to this day their performance is coveted by hi-fi purists and unmatched. found in an 20's theater. amazingly, it was inside the original western electric branded shipping crate. it probably needs a new diaphragm as there is no reading across the pins. it is otherwise in very fine shape. i lightly dusted it, but did not want to meddle or fu...rther clean it. enjoy!On Oct-29-19 at 19:41:16 PDT, seller added the following information:UPDATE: the field coil reads 4.7ohms
