[QUOTE="jlaubza, post: 1141507, member: 21934"] "...worth my while in terms of money and time...". Your conundrum is the same as that of an old car restorer. Let me explain. If you want to restore in order to use these yourself, then the answer is probably not worthwhile as they are inefficient speakers by modern standards, with limited dynamic and frequency response. Your money would be better spent on modern loudspeakers. If you want to restore for the pleasure of bringing back an old product to life, then go ahead and have fun. Is there a market for a restored vintage 'classic' product? Who knows? At the end of the day, if you decide to sell them, post restoration, it is unlikely you will recover your outlay in time and money. But, that is an opinion and there will be, no doubt, others who will encourage you to go ahead. [/QUOTE]
