The amp features an extremely early JB Lansing 212 speaker with black crinkle paint and the attached field transformer. I date it somewhere from the mid to late 30's from the cabinet design, tube compliment and gold grill identical to this period.

These were used with the pre-war aluminum and bakelite steel guitars and their Ken Roberts model electrified Spanish guitar. Rickenbacher made various offshoot models for other companies and this may be for a local store chain like their British exports.

Anyone in the vintage audio group ever seen one of these or could shed any light on the model 212 12" speakers pre-dating the Altec company? See attached link for photos.

Thanks much, Robb

ps. I'll be sharing some Fisher 400 info later.
