The 1A or 206A ? This would be set up more as a novelty with 2000 ft spoolboxes and carbon arc.

They don't even come close. The model "A" and model "T" were not very good cars either. I'd also vote the TA-7400 as the all time best sound head ever built. Amazing for the time period and nothing has been built to this day that is as good. This sound head would be comparable to the old Lincoln V-12.
