Philips 477

imix500 · 20th June 2005, 12:46 AM

Hello all, so I've been given a pair of Philips 477 "Hi-Fi" Loudspeakers but have not had luck locating info on them. They need new woofers at very least. The mids and tweets seem to be ok.
Are they worth repairing? Any idea if a generic P.E. woofer would be ok for them or do they deserve a bit better of a driver?
They seem to be built relatively well so I think it would be a shame to trash them outright. Any thoughts, opinions? Thanks!

Yeah, unfortunately my camera is not speaking to my pc (freakin windows) but the drivers in these don't look as "old school" they look like pretty generic ceramic magnet speakers. I think these are from the mid 80's.
