Shattered Dream
This is an original British Thomson-Houstn Co. Ltd. Bakelite speaker, circa 1928, that has been upgraded to a mains-powered Bluetooth speaker. This was acquired some time ago in a broken state. It has since been patched up and converted. It is a relic of a stylish time of Art Deco products in an age of Bakelite.
The unit is switch by a red push button at the top rear of the speaker.
When switched on, the speaker identifies itself as paired (to your phone) and changes colour.
