They were kept dry and the cabinets remain in good condition with minimal scratches and nicks. However, one top trim piece is missing from the speaker cabinet on the right (as seen in the photos). The grille to that speaker is damaged as well, but overall, they are not bad to look at and in my opinion, are definitely worth restoring. I have not tested these speakers for functionality, but as you can see in the final photo, they will need re-foaming and re-coning at the very least. I didn’t want to break the grille off of the left speaker, but I assume the condition to be very similar to that of the right speaker. The serial numbers are very close (a matched pair, I suppose) – C45872 and C45892. The speaker cabinets each measure 25″ tall by 14″ wide and 11.5 deep.
