Hartley Zodiac 1A's - Mods - Rebuild?

I have a pair of these speakers with good cabinets that I love the look of. Only one original driver as the other driver was replaced with a no name 10" and the two tweeters are also no name replacements. Does anyone have any experience rebuilding/moding these speakers and could offer some suggestions that wouldn't break the bank and yield a nice sounding pair of speakers?

I'm wondering if I could end up with a nice warm full sound that would be suitable for some easy listening. I have a couple of 75 to 100 watt receivers that would be used with these if I could make this work. In terms of what I'm used to I have been listening to some JBL L1's and Tannoy C8's and I'm guessing a 10" woofer in an acoustic suspension box could yield a warmer bass sound.

The original tweeters are probably Philips AD 0160. They should have a coil in parallel with a 12uF cap in series, though I don't have the equipment to give the specs off of my coil. No filter on the woofers. For woofers and other information try emailing audiolab@aol.com, which is the email listed on the Hartley website. They still make woofers, though I have no idea if any current model is equivalent to yours or how much they might cost.
