Cizek Model 1

I picked up a pair of Cizek Model 1s this weekend for $5 (on a whim and knowing nothing about them but they looked cool). The cabinets need some refinishing but are solid, the grilles and foam on the front baffle is shot, the tweeters work as do the woofers but they need refoaming.

Are these something I should put the money into or should I just gut them and play with them DIY style?

I just got back a pair I sold to a friend in 1979. He reconed the woof which appear good. the xover and tweeters looked fried.

Its the tweeter Im concerned with: Peerless KO10DT

Is there something thats technically better these days? That will fit the xover curve - set at 1.5k. My guess a 12 or 6 db slope.

Might even consider using my ProAc Tablette 2 (the worst version) as the mid/tweet and then use the sub woofer circuit on my rec - a decent early 90's Denon.

Ideas welcome.
 
Even has its own Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cizek_Model_One (DrDyna beat me to that)
