Wharfedale Dovedale 3
Was so lucky to find this pair of Dovedale which are in showroom condition and sound amazing. After getting them, from a fella in his nineties who said he never moved them and hasn’t listened to to them in over thirty years, I went into cleaning them up cosmeticly. When ready, I slowly powered... -
Any Wharfedale historians? Stumped on Model. Plenty of pics.
I was thinking Dovedale 3, but these cabinets have a mids and highs L-pad(15ohm) not switches. No model number on them. Back of woofer has the date 3/71. Want to refurb, but need to know where to start. Mids L-pads are melted and pretty sure the mids are blown. Tweeters and woofers all in good... -

Wharfedale w90 - matching transformer bypassed ?
Hi, When opening my W90s with the intent to replace the ancient capacitors (after refinishing them), I discovered that the matching transformers on both of them were effectively bypassed.

Wharfdale W70D MKII
I picked up a pair of Wharfedale W70D MKII in near mint condition cosmetically, reportedly stored for 50+ years as the owners wife didn't approve of the aesthetics.

In what order would you inspect/test/repair an old speaker?
Someone in my neighborhood decided to give away their pair of Wharfedale W60D's and I decided I'm going to get into refurbishing vintage speakers.
