Lol, this is the enormous speaker I had left over when I modified my Ertl 1/18 scale Blues Brothers 1974 Dodge police car into a standard Monaco 4-door sedan. Perhaps someday I will find a diorama use for this giant model loudspeaker ! Silly

This monster must have made me deaf, because I can't hear a thing from it at all ! Maybe I have to put it back on the Dodge before it works again ...... Envy Wink

I have recently bought four Gaz 69 personnel carriers in parade livery and Zis 121 Tractor to haul an intercontinental ballistic missile (which I am trying to acquire now) for a 50th. anniversary May Day parade diorama. Your speaker would come in handy telling the assembled crowds how happy they are with the regime 🇨🇳.

One question. Do Jake and Elwood know about this?  Laugh

Lol, I am sure Jake and Elwood could loudly broadcast their blues music to EVERYONE within earshot of this giant .....which would be a radius about 3.8 miles ! Roll  

And I also am convinced that the entire May Day crowd in Moscow and the Kremlin's Red Square would be loudly reminded by this monster how delighted and rapturous they all are with their "Special Grandfatherly Government" ! Silly Wink

Kelly's Heroes. Donald Sutherland was Oddball. Clint Eastwood was Kelly. Fun flick.

@perrone1 Thank-you for the reminder. I attended a Roman Catholic boarding school run by De La Salle brothers - A bit like a gentile POW camp - and one of the few 'privileges' was having our own film club. Some of the boys with their finger on the pulse of the outside world would select the films (doubtless from a Vatican-approved list) and this was one of them. I think the good brothers enjoyed the escape more than the inmates!

HA! Cool story! I went to La Salle College back before it went co-ed. The Jesuits had their hands full with all of us fellows!
