The W70C's look different than the W70D's and so on.

Those are W70's. They're not exactly like mine, but very close.

The radio people built speakers for Wharfedale's east coast market, hailing out of Hong Kong.

I was going to say that looked like the back panel arrangement on some other Radio People of Hong Kong Wharfedales I had, but I see its already been said.

Early W70s from Radio People. The unit with the Motorola jack is original that People Radio used. The cabinet is the same design as from the UK. The UK version uses a banana jack that is smaller than the current standard size. The drivers are great and if all original, none use foam. Probably will need to change out the crossover cap, find an oil filled. Be careful, the back panel may be sand filled as that was a design feature of the Wharfedales. Use a smaller amp in the 10 - 25 watt range and play them politely; think of being in an apartment and really liking the next door neighbors or being deathly afraid of them. On classical, jazz and vocals they are really good.

I have a set of the UK built units with the same early crossover and they are tied with my Bozak 302s for 2nd best speaker I have.
