THESE SPEAKERS ARE VERY RARE INDEED!! THESE SPEAKERS ARE ORIGINAL EXAMPLES, AND. ALL ORIGINAL UNTOUCHED SPEAKERS THAT WORK.. IN MY OPINION, ALL 6 DRIVERS. ARE WORKING WITHOUT DISTORTION. WHICH MEANS I HEAR CLEAR HI’S, AND IMPRESSIVE LOWS. IN MY OPINION, THE GRILLS LOOK ORIGINAL. AND UNTOUCHED, AS DO THE BADGES. I BELIEVE THESE ARE IN BIRCH (SLICED NATURAL COLOR). I LISTENED TO A VARIETY OF MUSIC FROM JAZZ TO CLASSICAL. AND IN MY OPINION, ALL WAS WELL. THE POTS WHEN ROTATED, DIDN’T SEEM TO MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE. THEY DO HOWEVER ROTATE QUITE FREELY WITHOUT HESITATION. THESE CABS OVERALL LOOK PRETTY DARN GOOD CONSIDERING THEIR AGE. A FEW SCRATCHES, AND SOME OF THE VENEER. IS COMING OFF THE FRONT OF ONE OF THEM. IN MY OPINION, THE CABS APPEAR TO BE THE VINTAGE PLYWOOD WITH. THE BIRCH VENEER APPLIED TO THE FRONTS, TOP, BOTTOM, AND. LEAVING 1 SIDE UNFINISHED. USED PRIMARILY FOR A HORIZONTAL SHELF POSITION. THE BADGE POSITION WOULD INDICATE THAT AS WELL. THESE SPEAKERS ARE A GREAT START TO A WONDERFUL RESTORATION. CABS APPEAR TO BE WELL MAINTAINED, WITH GOOD CORNERS. AND ORIGINAL AR2 PAPERS AS WELL (see pics). I CAN BARELY READ THE SERIAL #. I BELIEVE THEY READ. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. EVERYBODY WANTS TO HAVE. ANY ISSUES OR DISAPPOINTMENTS. THEN YOU CAN SEE THAT MY DESCRIPTION IS ACCURATE. AND YOU ALSO GET TO HEAR THEM FOR YOURSELF.
