RE: Strange Wharfedale?Radio people LTD.

The two drivers look like the Wharfedale full range models. I had the 12" with foam surround a long while back, and it had excellent sound. They also came with cloth surrounds. The 10" is a fairly rare bird. When you get the speaker, examine the back of the cones near the edge for some numbers and initials. The number is the free air resonance in CPS (these way predate the use of Hertz)and the initials are the tester's. You sometimes see GAB which was G. A. Briggs, or RC for Raymond Cooke.

Nice find, and it ought to sound good. Try replacing the tweeter with a modern dome unit as the early Wharfedale cone tweeters were pretty bad.

Let me know when you get them, I might have some advice.
