Is there a logo on the woofer? Looks like it's blacked out for some reason.

I have a set of Ortofon 445 tucked away ... but here's a pic from the net

My first question is "how do they sound?'. They may well be keepers with a bit of attention (also possibly not), most likely better woofers can be found.
The Ortofon 335's on the web have different drivers. They may have come out of the same factory and have had all the drivers replaced or be an off brand clone. Open one up to see if the crossover looks like the one in #7, please.
 
No not the same crossover its cheap one

Three air core coils, not necessarily cheap but beyond my ability to figure out much about it. Might be interesting to see if the inductor values match the values in the Audax schematic. Is there any identification on the vent cover?
 
Asked because the pictures I can find on the web of Ortons appear to have their name embossed on the middle section of the plastic.
 
The single cap on that board is bound to be bad.

Any markings (numbers, brand etc.) on the woofer or other drivers?

I agree it looks like a knockoff.
 
I just found pics of my 445's... they do indeed say "Ortofon" on the covers. I also zoomed in on the OP's speakers and see nothing as he states. The aperiodic vents are still available today... many marked with the manufacturer "Scanspeak". It's a hard speaker to ID mainly due to age and availability. Bottom line is that it's a good candidate for a rebuild. Good Luck
BTW ... the name 335 comes from 3 drivers ... 35 liter enclosure. :)
 
@drbiggles speaks the truth!
Some or all of driver's may be fine, but getting the T/S parameters and building good crossovers may be a bit challenging.
You could always part them out and use the money to acquire something better possibly?
