Western Electric Motiograph 7505 tube amps

"The Deja Vu Audio Vintage room featured a speaker system that used Western Electric horn tweeters with 713B compression drivers. I listened to Dinah Washington singing "Blue Gardenia"; it was a 1955 recording playing through a horn from the 1940s. It sounded clear, and even though there was a vintage tone to it, I'd describe the sound as high fidelity. The amps were vintage Western Electric Motiograph 7505 tube amps, and they absolutely looked like they were from another era. I'd like to hear that system tackle some contemporary tracks; maybe next time."

Western Electric 16A Horn

Considered to be one of the rarest of Western Electric vintage horn. One of the few in existence. This horn is alnmost 100 years old and it's still sound great! Introduced in 1929, the W.E. 16A Horn was intended as a compact solution for a horn speaker system to be mounted behind the movie screen in the early days of "sound movie" (as opposite to "silent movie").
Picture
Excerpt from http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/western_el_theater_horn_16a.html:

"Introduced in 1929, the Western Electric 16A horn is a product of the early days of talking motion pictures. The 16A was intended as a compact solution for a horn speaker system to be mounted behind the movie screen hanging on chains. At 400 pounds and almost 3 meters wide, the idea "compact" is relative. The WE 16A could be loaded with either two or four WE 555 field coil compression drivers. This horn has a unique dual horn construction which allows it to be used today for single point stereo. The Western Electric 16-A Horn was available in two different configurations. The Part number 6016-A Horn consists of 16-A Horn and 2 9-A Receiver Attachments (for 2-555 Receivers). Air Column Length is approx. 12"-11". The Part number 6116-A Horn consists of 16-A Horn and 4 8-B Receiver Attachments (for 4-555 Receivers). Air Column Length is approx. 11"-10"."

Western Electric 22P Preamps

Picture
Western Electric Company (sometimes abbreviated WE and WECo) was an American electrical engineering company, the manufacturing arm of AT&T from 1881 to 1995. It also served as the purchasing agent for the member companies of the Bell System. In 1929, Western Electric was also a big player in early cinema sound systems. It created the Western Electric Universal Base, a device by which early silent cinema projectors could be adapted to screen sound films. It also designed a wide-audio-range horn loudspeaker for cinemas. This was estimated to be nearly 50% efficient, thus allowing a cinema to be filled with sound from a 3-watt amplifier. This was an important breakthrough in 1929 because high-powered audio valves were not generally available back then. Western Electrics’ reputation for sound management was such that in 1949 President Truman requested that Western Electric manage a major defense laboratory, Sandia National Labs.

GATES Vintage Turntable

From the golden era, this is a Gates CB-500 3-speed 16" table with platter.
Picture
The Gates CB-500 transcription turntable is surprisingly simple in operation, yet over simplification has been avoided in the interest of quality, standards of performance, and low mechanical noise.
Certain features that have proven themselves over the years have been retained, such as the shear type idler wheel, oilite bearings, heavy cast aluminium platter and chassis, monoball self-aligning bearings, self-centring idler wheel (that ensures exact tension at all times) and the direct speed shift mechanism.
New features of the CB-500 are the hub drive, the improved motor mounting (to insure low noise rumble free operation) and the rocker type mercury Off-On switch.
The result is a transcription turntable built for low noise, long rugged service and positive in operation with reduced maintenance.
