Hi,

B&W are very good at supplying information about their old speakers. They have the manuals for from 1980s onwards on-line. For older speakers use this LINK (http://www.bwspeakers.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/service.techsupport) and (as requested) give them a postal / fax address.

Equally you will find that the spakers are quite repairable - most citys have speaker repairers who will recone and replace capacitors in crossover networks etc. The tweeter and super-tweeter in the B&Ws were very popular drivers in the 70s - (IMF, Celestion etc all used them) and you can still get spare cones etc new!
