Just for fun..

From an upcoming sale; after it starts I will post it in Dollars and Sense.

I think Wharfdale W-70. What do you think?

C'mon, ask us something HARD!

Yeah, they look like W70s. I do wonder if that picture is flipped though - aren't the badges supposed to be at bottom right instead of top right?

Maybe they're the Radio People version that makes them so hard to identify

Thanks!

It looks like the W70 had revisions; I see "B" and "D" models on the web. That might explain the variation. Below are images of a different W70 from the web:

The rest of the gear at the sale is old but not high-end. I hope the buyer is prepared to deal with sand-filled enclosures!
