With the advent of so-called Hi-Fi equipment these speakers have become increasingly depart among the almost Museum pieces.
Inspired by the originality of technical solution, published in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 11’78, I modified the circuit for fluorescent lamps and for many years its use in residential lighting fixtures.
