I’ll bear that in mind Richard , thoroughly enjoying them now ! Now I understand the hype.
Definitely teak. Everything was teak in 1975!
Looking at the crossover, you’d do well to replace the capacitors, especially those black and red ones. After forty years they will have drifted well away from their original values.

Hi Shane, I hear what you’re saying about the caps though I’ve had this discussion on here before about replacing capacitors and people’s thoughts are very different plus having researched about replacing the caps on these I’m very inclined to leave well alone !! Especially as they sound bloody good to me .
Having owned many speakers over the years I have only changed one set of capacitors ( Ditton 44’s ) because they were clearly faulty, I have a bit of an ocd thing about leaving things totally original.

I would suggest checking the capacitors, reversible electrolytics can rise appreciably in capacitance with age. This could possibly lead to blowing a tweeter. However, I have not yet checked the capacitors in my two pairs of 149's.

Hi Alex, check the capacitors ? How is that done ?
