   Ok.

   The 'roll' is inverted. These are the bolted-together square ceramic magnet   
   type with a cast alloy frame. They're back-mounted with a thick green felt   
   'gasket' around the edge. Beautiful drivers actually, hand-assembled and you   
   can see the various builders initials (along with "7/69") written on the   
   back of the cone.   
      
   They look so good - so well-made and purposeful, that it'd be great to see   
   them - in an open baffle perhaps (although I doubt they'd be suited - and I   
   have the rest of the drivers in perfect condition...)   
      
   I could put some pics up somewhere if you want and know of a hosting site   
   that's not a PITA to register?

   Yes, ages ago and I didn't get a reply. Although that said I only had their   
   main sales addy but was hoping that perhaps they'd give me the right one.   
   Instead it seems the email was simply ignored - put in the 'too hard - not   
   enough reward' bin.   
      
   I have the email addy for APM's restorer (I fixed up a pair of their   
   speakers a few years back) and I asked his advice (mainly as he's employed   
   in England as a restorer of older drivers) but he couldn't help.

   Thanks for the reply Dave. I haven't checked here in a while as there didn't   
   appear to be much interest in my initial post so the project's on the   
   back-burner until either i find out more or get desperate enough to atempt   
   /something/.   
      
   I'm fairly sure that, if I want to restore these drivers to their former   
   glory (and I do) I'll have to make surrounds. (I'm on the poverty line, an   
   invalid on an [ever-decreasing] government benefit in New Zealand.)
