The 926-B Amplifying System, part of the 936 RadioTelephone, was built by Western Electric for the U.S. Navy and was designed for voice communication rather than Morse code.
As you’d expect of any WWI era communications device bearing a Western Electric tag, the 926-B was built to impossibly high standards. Solid mahogany, billet brass, polished nickel, point-to-point wiring, etc.
This 926-B is in excellent condition throughout and includes a hand transmitter, a loudspeaker, and a very early pair of Western Electric headphones (no model designation on the nickel-plated driver housings; just “PAT APPLIED FOR.”)
No mods, no repairs, no replaced components. Lid card is clean and legible. All tubes (two 216a’s and a single CG-1162) have good filaments.
An historic apparatus, beautifully preserved.
