Both speakers tested and working properly. All drivers produce sound, and both speakers play normally once the rear controls are adjusted.
Cosmetic Condition:
Good overall vintage condition with normal wear.
Some small chips around the cabinet corners, along with scratches and scuffs.
One grille has a visible stain near the bottom. No cleaning has been attempted.
Both removable grille covers are otherwise in good condition and attach with Velcro.
Gold-colored areas around the woofer dust caps show cracking and deterioration, more noticeable on one speaker. Both woofers produce sound normally.
Rear Adjustment Controls:
The midrange and high-frequency controls show signs of age and possible oxidation. On one speaker, both knobs have some resistance when turning. Some controls initially required adjustment to restore consistent sound. Once set, all drivers produce sound normally.
The speakers are usable and working as-is, although the controls may benefit from cleaning or servicing in the future.
The cabinets have not been opened during testing.
