Nice 1929 Majestic Model G-2 9-Inch Field Coil 2800-Ohm Speaker, Tests Good!

Description

This is a Majestic model G-2 9-inch field coil speaker, rated at 2800 ohms and manufactured by the Grigsby-Grunow company of Chicago in 1929 for use in several of their console radios, including model 70-B, model 90, model 100 and model 180. Majestics were extremely high quality sets (and heavy, like this speaker!), and the company did not manufacture parts for other companies, so if you need one of these to complete a restoration, they are quite hard to find. As you can see, this one came out of a Model 180, which used two 50 tubes, so this speaker was made to handle extremely high output if necessary, and its field coil still tests good at 2800 ohms! You can see from the pictures what nice, all-original condition it’s in, and even includes its original connectors, which are typically lost or broken. I salvaged this from a 180 many years ago and held onto it should I ever need it, but now I’m running out of space, so it’s time to pass it along to another collector/restorer who can use it. If you’ve been looking for one of these and feared that you’d never find such a nice-looking one, this is your lucky day; it will be a long time before you find another.
Best of all, I offer the lot here with NO RESERVE -- high bidder takes it!
I will ship this item ONLY within the United States. If you live elsewhere and are interested in it, please contact me BEFORE bidding so we can discuss the shipping charges, which can be very expensive outside the U.S. I ship once a week (whenever possible). Having received, over the years, some items that did not survive shipping, I always take care to pack very carefully. If you prefer, I will be happy to drop it off at a nearby UPS store and have it professionally packed and shipped at your expense. I reserve the right to raise or lower the shipping charges should they prove to be significantly different than those determined by the shipping calculator. I reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone with excessive negative feedback or an otherwise suspicious history. Payment is due within three (3) days of the auction's close. Due to its age I am selling this item without any warranty. All sales are final. I am not a dealer, and don’t have a big operation with a staff, so I would appreciate your patience while I take the time to pack your items with the care they deserve.
Be sure to see all the pictures! I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have, but please try to ask as early as possible, as it sometimes takes me a while to get to my email. Please see my other listings, as I am running out of space and am thinning out my collection considerably. I have several fine items up on Ebay right now, and will be listing many more in the weeks and months to come, so please keep checking. Good luck and happy bidding!
