Soundlab speaker identification

I recently acquired these speaker's and can't seem to identify them? I was hoping for some help as I'm trying to determine if they are worth restoring or not? These don't show up in the Midwest often or at all so I have no familiarity with them. Thank you for any help you could give me, Larry

Are you asking about the entire speaker? Or just the drivers? What is on the badge in the one pic?
 
I don't understand the reply?
I wouldn't bother with them! Why you ask? I'll tell you why in my opinion but only mine,the Woofer cones seem to be transparent,the boxes remind me of the cheaper Fisher ones not sturdy much and very lightly built and that's why I said what I say!What are they,Speakerlab or Soundlab?Google these and they are quite different:)

Sorry they are speakerlab speaker's but I can't find any model identifiers in them?
 
It can be tricky to identify speakerlab models at times. they were sold as kits that you could build yourself to save money or prebuilt ... they also sold alot of parts for crossovers and stocked a bunch of different drivers and tweeters. they used to have a website with all the catalogs listed but i've noticed recently the website has gone down. hopefully someone still has all these catalogs as they were very useful to me and will reupload them sometime.

i an early model Speakerlab 2 that is one of my best vintage sounding 2 ways and very effecient -- it is an excellent rock speaker. i also have the small speakerlab 1.2 i think, but haven't spent much time with those.

i think speakerlab is very good and sounds great to me. i would try and find some catalogs online and look at the pictures to see if you can find one that matches yours... or do a google image search for "speakerlab" and look at all the pictures until you find yours. this is what i always do.
 
speakerlab is definitely not junk. if all the drivers are original and not replaced with something different it should sound very nice. the crossover may need to be recapped.
 
Speakerlab had some good ones but also had some Duds here and there pretty well like a lot of others did:)
 
They aren't the Speakerlabs DAS 4. That is what I have been using for my multichannel setup. I use them for the fronts with two small sealed 8 inch subs along with a passive xover. Found them locally for $30 in mint condition a couple years ago. Highly recommended. They are the factory built edition, not a kit. Shame that the Speakerlabs website is down...
 
I appreciate all the feedback. I'm really not sure how to order refoam kits because I can't identify the driver's? I will be patient until I can and then get them going again. Appreciate all the help.
 
You can post some photos of the various drivers, front and back so we can help you identify if they are actually speakerlab drivers. Same with the crossover.
 
These are the driver's that are in these speaker's? Woofer
