Wharfendale Model 60 speakers

[benkeys]

Has anyone heard of Wharfendale Model 60 speakers?  They were made in England. I managed to scoop up a pair for 20.00 that are all original including the large metalized 12mf crossover capacitor,surprising in perfect shape. I couldnt find much info about them online, besides they are from the 60s and seem to be decent quality speakers. The ones i have appear to be an early model, as they are just model 60 not w60 and do not say BIC on them. From what i understand they allowed that BIC company to produce there later model speakers.. but i am not sure. I couldnt even find a power handling capabilities anywhere, nor an exact year. Only 1 speaker has a label with the model and serial number. I found similar model 60's on ebay but had different cabinets and slightly different grill cloth. One pair had an asking price of 200.00, and the other 350.00, i know ebay prices can be off the wall sometimes but i imagine they are wort more then 20.00..
