Appears to plug into a radio so you can use your phonograph's horn as the speaker.

It might or might not fit exactly, but you could easily fix that in a non-destructive way with a bit of rubber. I have an Edison Cygnet connected to a huge radio driver (maybe from a PA system, it's so large) with a stack of rubber hose washers inside the large-diameter fitting. Combined with a 14" speaker in a huge floor cabinet my Grandpa built, it makes an awesome system for my many-tubed amplifier.

With this particular unit, you'd likely need an inexpensive audio transformer, to convert modern 8-ohm output to what is surely the 1000-2000 ohms this is wound for. I'd buy it, except for having several already :mrgreen:
