Those would have to take the award for the rarest horn & drivers know to man and complete with documentation!

Very nice!

What have I been saying for a year? If they ain't Smith, they ain't horns. Thanks Steve.

Steve , Wow! What a great posting ! Thank-you so very much for this !

- The insights into the actual construction of the driver ( and diaphragm ) are just priceless & of course the pics .

- I do hope you get your tweeters going sometime / though I understand given these units rarity, if it's a one time happening .

- Don't field coils benefit from smoother DC than what can be provided by 1/2 wave rectification ( or have I missed mention of other smoothing components ? )

Cheers ( I love the formulas for the derived mechanical constants )

ps : I wonder if Tool & Die workers these days still offer the better "one-off" approach by being able to use "spun" product soft-pressed into a die / as compared to hydro-forming or heat-pressing . Of course , I would have liked to know the gauge of the wire used for the voice coils and the total length of the windings as well as the gap width ( but I'm just a junky for that sort of info ).

How did they end up at your house? I've been looking everywhere for my lil' smith tweets. "Here smithy smithy"
...not in the basement...or the garage...and wouldn't you know it: Right here on the forum! Ok, Steve- can I have 'em back now.....Steve..(?)....(crickets chirping)....

Seriously- those are insanely cool. I can't wait for more updates! Thanks so much for sharing!
