listen. for something that is almost 60 years old it doesn't sound that bad though it is not as good as a CG-411-B. i had this for a while. i played this song on ME5s VT-120 and it has a slightly worse sound mainly due to the nature of the shape as the diaphragm in the resonation chamber in the horn. let me tell you, this was set as loud as it would go and yet it was still very quiet like 88 DBa at 10 feet instead of 115 DBa at 100 feet. it makes a terrible sound system but a great way to annoy your neighbours. the beacon on mine doesn't have a bulb and it uses a weird bayonet-e26 looking base but it is well made as the insulator is slate and the metal contacts are made from brass.
