Yes, the top metal horn could be a AL. If the wood cabinet is a Voice of the Theatre remains to be seen.

i had feeling but wasn't too sure . not sure how many are used in the movie i think typical disco would have x4 each corners of the disco dance floor . often some are suspending by chains from ceiling angled downwards at the dance floor . good to have someone that can spot the speaker . thanks

Well unless Altec paid for brand advertising in the movie... they would have removed branding.

If you're testing how to quote, best done in here rather than a live thread;

Sorry, didn't know the threads in the "testing area" were considered "live." I just stuck this practice reply at the end of a random thread there. Should I start a new thread to practice? How can I practice a quote that way. Sorry, I'm new to this. I couldn't find specific instructions on how the quotes work, so I was gonna mess around a bit. I think no matter where I put a practice post, it will show up in the "new posts" and "latest activity" list, if that's an issue.

No I'm sorry... I didn't realise your post was actually in the test area, as the thread title misled me, plus was looking at other threads. So you're in the correct area, my sincere apologies.

Just highlight what you want to quote and select reply;

... or copy/paste the text into the post area, highlighted, then select the circled icon;

JSmith, thanks. I'm working up the courage to reply in a technical thread.

BTW, I have been posting in music threads. Check out some of those, especially the last dozen or so.

Thanks for the great moderating job you guys do!

Yes, I'd guess it's a 511B horn.
