Help identify these speakers

[markmark]

I picked these up at a local thrift store. They have no names or numbers anywhere on them. Cabinets are 25"h x 14"w x 12"d. Main speaker is 8", mid is 4", & 2 small speakers are 2". The connections on the back include a "round" plug like on my old Telefunkens.
Thanks for any help,
Mark

Looks suspiciously like Peerless components (possibly a Peerless kit of some sort?). In fact, I'd be very surprised if the 2" tweeters were NOT MT225s or such...

BTW: Looks like the 8" woofers are the same... just that someone has removed the fancy round metal can from the back of one of them.

Regards,
Gordon.

Thank you Gordon,
All pics came from the same speaker. I removed the "fancy can" to show the back of the main speaker.

Yes,all drivers are Peerless,but to my knowledge they never made such a combination as a kit.
The woofer is hard to identify without seeing it from the front.If it has a rubber roll surround,then it might be a L825WG.
The mid is a GT50MRC.
Tweeters I would suggest the slightly larger MT25HFC.
I don't recognize the crossover filter either.
Early 70's.

Attractive 60's speakers

And how do they sound?

The way these were built, the fabric covers don't "pop" off. I'm not sure if I can remove the speakers without doing damage. It looks like the cover & speakers were mounted to the front panel before the cabinet was assembled. I can get to the nuts on the back of the speakers but if the screw turns, I'm screwed. (they have loc-tite or some kind of sealant on them).
Honestly, I've not hooked them up to my system yet. I tested them at the thrift store on a dinky "all in one" radio (only working radio they had) & they sounded good. I plan on hooking them up today & giving them a full workout.
Thanks for the help & later I'll post if they're worth the $10 I paid for them.
