Thanks Bill glad to be here I've found a wealth of info, I was planning on selling these when I initially sought out the site over a month ago but and after reading about my cornwalls I've decided that may not be a smart thing to do. It'll probably take me a while to couple the speakers with some decent gear but no reason I shouldn't get the crossovers straight while waiting

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond been a hectic holiday season. I have since found out that they are 77s (would this make them cornwall 2's?) or thats what I'm assuming with a serial number of 12R299 I can no loner make out the type code very well but it looks like CD-BR or it could be someones mistake of CB-BR Does the guy that sells the xo upgrade have a website?

I was given the Family Cornwalls a couple of years ago. My father bought them the year I was born. I've grown up with them. They are in mint condition considering thier age. The grills could be replaced and the bezel/trim around the front that the grills fit into. Other than that I know of nothing wrong with them. Still ahve the tags on the back. My question is should I do any restoration to the speakers in terms of electronics inside. I have played them sparingly, but have been thinking about buying a really nice amp and putting some power through them to play the drums alongside of. Event though I can't see any breakdown with the speakers is there something I should be checking at thier age prior to running them pretty hard? They have never been exposed to the outdorr elements or drastics changes in temps/ moisture etc... Can speakers actually last that long? Any info would be appreciated. I've seen writeups about changing things inside that would bring new life into the speakers. Just not real sure about doing that.
