Does anyone recognize this 60-70's speaker?

It looks like a horn loaded Altec of some
kind. It was driven by a small tube power
amp.

Given the film, I'd expect Harry probably made it himself.

You mean like Heath?

Given the location (San Francisco) and west coast
jazz (subject background) I'm thinking Altec or JBL,
to be recognizable to the audience.

The speaker appears to be a two-way 6" horn and
a 12" woofer. In the tube amp there appears what
looks like two 6550 power tubes (one each channel).
That is something like 27-32 watts of peak power (in
current technology) to drive those large speakers.

One 6550 for each channel???
Think a mono push pull amp with about 50 watts output, not unlike a
single Dyna Mk. III.

The speaker seems to be a home made job.

You may be right (mono). No other speaker
is depicted in room.
