Wood is in fair condition some discoloration on bottom. Surround is still supple. Avoided removing grill, on other unit. Tests will be posted on youtube. A little pot cleaner and we’re good to go with these. I may continue to make some minor cosmetic improvements. Will post more photos. You get a good idea on the general condition. The woofer surround has a tiny dent in it… Probably from my finger pushing hard on it to see if it could fail. I’m in SF Bay Area, CA. Can deliver locally to sign over the goods. BOTH SOUNDED ABOUT THE SAME. WILL RETEST WITH MORE FINESSE, X-OVERS ARE not to spec.. Can send youtube video. My youtube name is Vikram Singh.
