Well, just picked up a set of older Warfedale W70's from CL. The guy was nice, but didn't have the history. The cabinets and grills are rough and will be a challenge to restore, but I like a challenge. I'm currently in the midst of restoring a set of Fisher XP=7B's, so these will be next.
I've ordered some PIO caps from fleabay to re-cap them (per recommendations on other threads), but that's about it so far. I've opened one of them to look around. They are the older "ported" versions. They don't have the Alnico magnets, but I've hooked them up and they sound good. The sound on both doesn't match completely, but I can't tell that any of the drivers are not functioning, so maybe the crossover just needs rebuilt.
For now I'm testing them with a Marantz 2220B. They sound pretty nice unrestored. I'll upload some pics soon. Any recommendations on restoring these?
