Help me identify this vintage GE speaker?

Pics attached. 60s, tube amp auxiliary speaker? Trying to track down age and model. Any ideas?

Absolutely any leads would be great. Thanks!

Oops. Here are the pics.

That's not just a speaker. Due to the line cord on the back, plus the volume and tone controls on the side, we can infer that there is at least an amplifier inside. Are there inputs on the cabinet?

I do believe that's a GE portify extension speaker designed to work wirelessly

Nicely done (although it's Porta Fi, not portify, but it only took Google a moment to set me straight), you can always trust an AK'er to figure out all but the most completely obscure equipment.

This video has more info. It's basically useless today.

It does not look terribly well built, especially from the rear. I wouldn't toss it, it may be good for something (or its parts) but it's not hi fi lookin'.

Thanks to both of you. Yep, it's a Porta Fi. I was thinking of buying it, because it was cheap and has the built-in amp, but it seems like even then I won't be able to do much of anything with it. So, I skipped it. Thanks for all the help!
