Danforth  Hybrid New Style 5" Constellation 1980-1986

This is the first version of the "New" style Constellation. It incorporated the dome, oring and dial from the Old Style 5" Constellation but it used a new bakelite bowl, and hemisherical diaphram. It was manufactured like this from approximately 1980 until 1986. Around 1986 the dome and oring were modified.
