I’m not sure how you’d get a good look with those drivers. The top and bottom edges are curved, which would look a bit odd if they were rebated. I don’t really like ports that have that plastic external flare. I admit, it’s probably a very good way of fixing them, and it’s at the back. It’s just that it’s a lump of plastic sticking out, and it’s the same piece of plastic you could see on a real cheapie speaker. I do like the terminal panels though. The finish also looks pretty good.

If i had the room or time for those id be scrapping that externally mounted X-Over, Block off the recess & veneer the baffleboard. Be scrapping that 'T27' tweeter too www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404961471960?Rather buy 'CADENZA' and mod them close to '104AB' spec but without the 'T27'  |

Good price considering what they go for now The '22' & '33' are my all time fav CELESTION. The difference between the two is Woofer size '22' is 8", '33' is 10" & ofc the cabinet volume. The only issue with me & the reason i sold mine is the pants Veneer www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156190031023? |

These dont come up very often, The were designed to mount on the wall. They were called ROGERS 'WAFER'. These ones are early 70's sample, Very rare you see mid 60's samples.. KEF did a similar thing with the 'CANTOR' www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315332962245? |

They were a great budget speaker back in the day, Tweeters sounded good enough but could do with better ones. Would not worry about the scuffing on the cones, they were thick paper but those 'DSB208' turn up every now and then, they used them extensively in other models www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145758547311? |

If it wernt for the missing lettering on the control panel i would have gone for that. In its original DUAL plinth with lid & that silver reel alone is rare. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276448611019? |
