Restored 1940s Bluetooth Bakelite Motiograph Drive-In Movie Speaker Set With Silver Pole and Base
Detroit DieCast is back in the business restoring vintage Drive-In Speakers and accessories. The Motiograph oval top is a reproduction made of fiberglass. Painted in Brown Hammertone paint. The base is original and has been completely restored. The ears of the junction box are original and have been reconditioned. Custom downlight installed in the bottom of the junction box base.
After extensive testing with various amps, we finally found the ideal amp that fits our junction box nicely. The amplifier delivers stereo sound, rated at 8 watts per channel, and is over surge protected. Our amplified stereo speaker combination produces a good mix of high/low, and mid-range sound. Included is a built-in on/off power switch that operates the amplifier and LED light. The LED light bulb illuminates the green lens and bottom of the speaker pole. We’re also supplying a 3-foot 5.5MM extension power supply cable that attaches to the amp and down the pole to power supply. This amplifier requires 12 volts to power up. A 3-foot 110 volt power supply is included to convert 110 household power into 12 volts for the amplifier. Keep in mind, our set-up could operate on any 12 volt applications, such as your car cigarette lighter. Perfect addition for your classic car shows, recreational room, around the pool, or even man cave.
