A heartfelt thank-you for all your suggestions and kind words. I got many helpful suggestions which I will follow up on, and most of all you convinced me to hook the speakers up and give them a good listening which I will do next week, although undoubtedly I don't have the best equipment for them which I presume to be a tube amp.
I pulled the speakers away from the wall, but it looks like I'm going to have to remove some panels to get a look at the drivers (except the tweeters). I did find a sticker on the back that says the serial number is 162, but doesn't give a build date. Since production started in 1957 and an estimated 1000 were made, it would be fairly early on in the production run, like early 60s or so. The cabinet itself is in superb condition. I could only find a couple of small scratches, and the woodgrain pattern on the curved piece is especially interesting and beautiful.
Thanks again for your help,
Steve
