These were found hanging on walls in a Detroit home of someone who had great taste in equipment. The woofer / surround is in Excellent condition. No rips tears holes etc. I can’t believe the bass these speakers produce. And human voices are amazing. They were completely untouched in original condition as of yesterday. I removed front grills and was able to remove HI and MID pots and completely disassemble and Clean everything. NO MORE corrosion inside those pads now and they Work as they should. The photos were taken after I did the job so this is what you get! The speaker grilles are extremely clean and original to the speakers. One speakers has the number 3 the other is missing (see pics). Early serial numbers C # 11655 C # 11656 1959? These speakers sound spectacular. AS IS 50yrs + with old Capacitors remain all original and I believe this is the RARE Natural Birch cabinets with Laquer! Working and sounding wonderful. The sound would blow you away.
