Wharfedale W90 Crossover Help

[jodyscott]

Hi,

I have a pair of Wharfedale W90 speakers (sand-filled model).
I'm desperately looking for someone who has a photograph of the crossover
for these, or some know-how of the configuration.

I've been attempting to repair them for a year and have had some techs playing around with bypassing the crossover (didn't work).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I've almost given up. Wharfedale informed me that they lost this information when one of their facilities burnt several years ago.
Finding someone with some know-how is my only hope.

Kind thanks

I hope these help you, Jody. I didn't take the piccies; found them on the net quite a long time ago. I'm one of those vintage Wharfedale nuts; it dates back to when I was 15. That was in 1957.

Your mentioning that 'some techs tried bypassing the crossover'. I hope they substituted another in its place as even if the tweeters weren't damaged, the system would sound awful assuming a crossoverless setup. I knew a fella back in the 60's who had a pair of these W90's and they do sound good despite what some audio fanatics might say about the way the mids and tweets are configured.
