Anyhow, I managed to salvage two of the old "radio" system speakers, of the kind that were installed in every classroom, from about 1950 onwards.

Trumpy how is the wired-radio in the N.Z. schools different from a regular whole-building public address system like used in American schools?

All the public schools in New York have a speaker box on the front wall above the blackboard, that way announcements are broadcast school-wide through it. The equipment rack is usually in the Principal's office.
