From the cutaway view, looks like he or a family member must have had some of the old Zenith Allegro speakers 🔊

Nice video. And nice job, Mitch, as always!
It’d be nice to see an interview with the innovators at Gamechanger. I know they’re kind of from the other side of the world, but it’d still be nice. 😅 👍🏼
