The seller doesn't know, there is no label on them. There is a Celestion driver and another English made driver by R&A? The cabinet seem to a very good build. Even if the drivers were not very good there could be potential to put something nice in them.

Back then you bought cabinets and drivers separately so they are probably made by a cabinet company or DIY. Looks like one Celesion driver has been replaced. I reckon a pair of Wharfedale DDs or Goodman's Axioms would be good in them.

It looks like there is some sort of variable loading by opening the doors at the bottom a different amount to suit the room. They might have metal sliders in them to hold to the desired angle.

Looks like a DIY cabinet on closer inspection. The 2/2 measurement and seem like a silcone seal in the joints.

It would be interesting to see more views of the interior. The baffles appear to be at an angle.

youve better eyes than me geoff lol. i have heard of the main baffle being angled up a few degrees to align it better with the tweeter tho.

I assumed they were single driver speakers with one of the pair having been replaced. I put the angle down to a variable horn loading into the doors at the bottom.

This assumed the third photo was taken from above but looking again you'd have to take the tops off and they look pretty solidly stuck on.

The silicone is a later attempt to seal the cabinets maybe the old glue was drying out.

But this could all be wrong, hard to tell without getting hold of them or seeing more angles.
