Thanks for the insight and help deciphering these Cornwalls. Great to see a strong following and such detailed info still exists. They will be my first set other than a Klipsch surround setup on my PC. I also noticed from the grill fading these are vertical configuration, and have been reading up on their origin as a center speaker that later sold in stereo pairs due to market demand. Not sure I’ll have room to lay them on their side, or if it will even be that noticeable to my well worn ears. Either way, after decades in storage they will be a project to refurbish for sure.

Thanks Wuzzzer, and apologies for the redundant question. Looks like F = 1968 per Historical Reference date codes. Also found ref to 1967 in stickies, but will confirm via woofer #’s. C-WR-15 No reference so far on the “WR” code, but will assume for now it meant “Walnut Raw”, and was finished after purchase. 15 = indicates white/black coarse weave grill - but looks more like cane to me in photos. Assume from early model notes grills are wrapped & stapled to motorboards. Should be fun to replace. Thanks again.

Brand new member here, and appreciate all the info available to date. The experts here are likely tired of the same old questions, but after looking over the forum I’ve not seen an exact example of my vintage Cornwallis, and would love to get some dependable info on manufacturing date range, available parts, upgrades, etc. (Labels are not legible) These were originally part of my grandfather’s highly coveted McIntosh system from the late 60’s early 70’s, which was placed in storage for decades after his passing. At this point, I have an opportunity to get the system out of the original boxes and determine what it will require to enjoy it once again - and reminisce/honor my grandfather’s love of quality audio. Assume they will at least need new caps and woofers, but have not been able to check them out just yet. Any info/suggestions would be great. Only have limited photos thus far, so no interior configuration yet.
