Old Kirksaeter 2-way monitor identification help

Just passed up 2 Kirksaeters at a Goodwill that were reasonably priced. Reason I passed, the foam was essentially completely gone, and I have zero experience refoaming. I am trying to research whether they're worth going back for, but they also were weirdly anonymous. Can anyone help me ID them?

They have the beautiful curved wooden case of the Kirksaeter 100 monitors, but when the cover was removed, they were super basic 2-ways, with no written info inside. They also appeared somewhat older than all the 100 monitor images I've come across, but that could just be general aging. I can't find anything about 2-ways from 70s or 60s era Kirksaeter. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

Go back and get them, they will be very nice speakers! I own a set of their monitor speakers and there are fantastic.... Go get them and post the pictures.

Refoaming is an easy job, lots of help here on AK to walk you through it.
 
Well...crud. I think they are gone. I've done a little more sleuthing, and based on the image below, they may have been the monitor 80 model.

Could also be the (I presume earlier) Monitor 50s not pictured here, but I can't find any images of what those look like under the grill.
Man, should have gone for it. I will of course return one more time to make sure I didn't somehow overlook them.
 
Too bad but in the future if you find German made speakers that is a good clue they are quality and worth a restoration. Maybe it means something higher up the food chain is waiting for you. :biggrin:
