Vintage Wharfedale Experts out There?? Need Help!

Posted by hi-fi kook on June 15, 2001 at 21:46:08

I just picked up a pair of vintage Wharfedales and need some help identiying what I have including approx. age Unfortunately, there is no model # displayed anywhere on the cabinet. Description: 21.5" wide, by 24" high by 13" deep. Walnut veneer. Non removable grill which has a brown and tan woven pattern behind two concave vertical walnut accent pieces about 1" wide and matching concave side frames. Extremely heavy units, I estimate 90-100 lbs. each. I took the back panel off about 2" to peek inside. It appears to be a 3 way with an 11 or 12" woofer, 8" mid, and I estimate a 3-4" tweeter. Cloth surrounds. It is ported. The magnets are massive but have nothing printed on them. The driver baskets for the woofer and mid have Wharfedale and Made in England stamped on the back. The back panel has a single plug rca style input jack and a single frequency control knob inset in a about a 4" round hole in the back panel. There is a metal plate on the back which I believe says Radio People Limited? Also Wharfedale badges are in upper right corner of grills. Any idea what I have? Looks late 60's - early 70's to me but I have no idea. Thanks for your interest and help.
