Thought I'd throw in a wisecrack or so. That driver was made of a loudspeaker 100A driver, pushing an olrthophonic aluminum diaphragm, as on the sound boxes. You could find a LS 100A with a shot cone, and use the driver on the horn driver unit. You're just lucky that you're not looking for the electro-dynamic driver, as used on the 10-51 orthophonic Victrolas!
I might add that, if you could get those drivers to George Epple in Baltimore for a magnet re-charge, he has a real wizzbanger of a magnet charger. It has been told by several people that you'd almost never believe the difference in a magnetic speaker. I have a LS 100 in my Victor Hyperion, and should send it to George. I'd surely like to hear it as it was new.

I am in need of several horn drivers for RCA radios that were used in Brunswick and Victor phonographs (see attached pics) and wonder if you might have any of them.
