ID on wharfdale model

[Kaa.thesnake]

Can’t seem to find these speakers anywhere, working on nothing but a confusing image. seller has listed them as jbl 510 speakers but the big Wharfdale W and uneven jbl badge has me thinking otherwise and hopeful I might score a bargain, any info on the speakers would be greatly appreciated

They look to be JBL's as you can see the glue stain where the other badge was and I'm pretty sure that's not a variation of the Wharfedale logo



If it were me and I was hopeful to score a bargain I would contact the seller and ask if they can provide additional pic of the back of the unit where hopefully there is a model #

Tweeter allegedly made in Denmark, i cannot confirm. Apparently sold "Jaycar" and a few other brands.

That doesn't look like any JBL or Wharfedale I've seen...

After a bit more searching (still waiting in response from seller) I’ve come across the wharfedale 506 which look to me almost like a little brother to whatever is in this picture

I stand corrected Wharfedale 510 speakers?

Wharfedale 510.2 with non-original tweeters.

Any advice on what I should want to pay for these, replaced tweeters possibly a bad omen ?

Unless there were no other speakers available to me, i'd give them a hard pass and keep looking for speakers.

The tweeter used in the 510.2 seems to be exclusive to that model making finding proper replacements near impossible. I can't even find a decent pic of one, and i'm pretty good at sniffing this kind of stuff out.

Unless Wharfedale changed which woofer they used during production, those are not correct either.

Original woofer should look like this with a wide rim and inverted rubber surround:

Good call on the woofers I noticed that too!

Thanks!

I got all caught up in the tweeters, tunnel vision caused me to overlook the woofers.

Having found that sales slick, i realize these might have been fairly decent speakers when they left the factory.

What a shame there’s hardly anything original left, thanks for all the wisdom everybody
