Canton GL-260

Just pulled these out of my stash. Used for only for a few hours the day I bought them in 1994. They were cheap looked well built and sounded decent enough. They play fine and are perfect for my work office where they are now. Thinking I could at least do some upgrade on the crossover components. Look to be 2nd order and the caps are electrolytics, so a great spot for this. Problem is, the caps have no value only a voltage rating and number that matches the number on the PCB location they are installed (there is enough "play" to see 360°). I can't find any information on this crossover and the pics I find online show the same, any ideas?

It looks like the two I could read in the OP's picture are on that list.

Canton GL-260 bookshelf speakers

Umm, first, in my rambling way, a little background. Recently I've seriously upgraded my HT system with a new (to me) amp, Canton Karat 60 fronts and Karat 200 rears. Now I've become increasingly unsatisfied with the Infinity Alpha center that I've been using. It's not a bad speaker but the...

thank you!

I currently have 3 pairs, all re-capped. 2 pair are in use as upper effect in the home theater system and one pair is not currently being used.
They do what they need to quite well, wonderful little speakers in my subjective opinion.
