Info on these Cornwalls-Newbie needs advice

Recommended Posts

I am just starting to attempt to put together a vintage system. I have a friend whose father in law passed and left him these 4 Cornwall speakers. I want to buy them, but I have several questions. What exact models are they, and what are they worth in the real world? I think there is a sequential serial number pair and then a mixed pair. Thanks for any help. post-58240-0-32380000-1395861082_thumb.jpost-58240-0-44340000-1395861095_thumb.jpost-58240-0-42900000-1395861104_thumb.jpost-58240-0-82020000-1395861113_thumb.jpost-58240-0-86660000-1395861123_thumb.jpost-58240-0-92060000-1395861138_thumb.j

I think the Cornwalls were manufactured in 1974 and 1981

m=1974

w=1981

Also, as I understand it, sequential numbered speakers are only important if you are concerned about matching veneer (or wood) patterns.

welcome to the forum, eth2 is right in the above post BUT

serial numbers 5M-509/510/512 are from 1974 ( M )

serial number 29W-649 is from 1981

BUT the first picture you posted is from a Cornwall 2 with all the drivers mounted from the front which wasn't made until late 1985 and the serial number would start with 85 none of your 4 labels in the pictures starts with 85

Pull the grills, it looks as if you have three CW and one CWII.

And flip the grill over on the bottom row on the right, it will sound a lot better.
