Shipping from the EU - RCA Victor Picture/film projector speaker cabinet 1940s - Black

This vintage cabinet started out its life as a Victor Animatograph Corporation 16mm motion picture/film projector speaker cabinet all in one unit. We had some of the guts removed including about 50 feet worth of spooled cable and converted it to a simple guitar speaker cabinet utilizing the original 12”woofer. It sounds very full, very evenly balanced & it definitely exudes loads of mojo. If you’re an RCA Victor buff or simply appreciate different speaker cabs, this might be just the item to add to your collection of functional strange.

DESCRIPTION:
The cabinet is covered in black textured original fabric (possibly an early iteration of Tolex) over a wood core which we’re fairly certain is tongue & groove joined. Gold toned stamped metal badge on top is marked “World’s Finest MOVIE Equipment~Victor~ REG U.S. PAT. OFF. 16MM~VICTOR~ANIMATOGRAPH CORPORATION DAVENPORT, IOWA U.S.A.”
Beautiful round metal "Victor” in a pseudo Art Deco style covers the exposed 12” original speaker. Accordign to my reseach the speaker is most likely an early Altec Lansing  speaker, it has a large permanent AlNiCo magnet. My quess is that it's in the range of 25-30 watts. It sounds really nice and full.

CONDITION:
This being 70 years old, there are the usual defects, primarily on the Tolex covering. There are some minor, very small tears, marks, and edge lifting inassorted spots on the cabinet. Original leather wrapped wooden handle shows excessive wear, but is still functional. All of the original structural components including all corner brackets, exposed screws, hardware, handle, speaker, front and back cover plates, etc., are included. 

SPECIFICATIONS:
Dimensions are 18.5” (47,5 cm) wide x 17” (43 cm) high X 10.25” (25,5 cm) deep. Cabinet enclosure alone weighs 21 lbs, 13 oz.
