Thanks to everyone for your replys. 1964s, thats even older than I had imagined. Valuable info on the grill cloth to motor board delemia. Perhaps I will make a panel to mount over the motor board and leave the original cloth intact. The original cloth has some staining that is forcing me to take some action. Also thanks for the explanations about horn orentation, very helpful.

Wow, if these things are meant for the cabinet to be in the horizonal postion doesn't that put the horns pretty low to the floor. Much to big to put on the bookshelf. I suppose vertical postioning will narrow the sweet spot in a larger room but still may be the way to go to keep the horns at a resonable height. How are other people orientating theirs.

I think I got a pretty good deal, $475 for older looking pair in good condition. Can anyone tell me the appox. year. Serial #4c58 & #4c59. Walnut finish with recessed front. Speaker cloth seems to be wrapped completly around the speaker mounting face board. Do I need to take the whole thing apart to redo this or does someone know a better way? This pair also has the vertical horns. What are the advantages or disadvantages of this configuration? Are there mods that I should be considering right away. They sound very nice as they are but a persons is allways curious. The only spare amp I had available last night to enjoy them with was a Carver TFM15b, sounds nice but of course I bought these with the intention of going with SET. How many watts do I really need. I've always been a believer in a little extra head room. Thanks in advance for any info that you can share ....
