Wharfdale speakers information please

[rjm]

I have a pair of these large Wharfdale speakers that I would like to sell. Can anyone give me any advice on what they are and their value please.
Hi

If that's the actual one you want to sell, taking it off the wall would be a good start.

There should be some useful info on the back - and you'll need to remove the grilles to help you examine - and for others to see the condition of the drivers.

Thank you, that's good advice. I have no idea how to sell these.

There will be some guidance here, once we find out what they are 👍

They look like Wharfdale Dalesman from the mid 60's - very rare but can't help with a value sorry

Good spot. I’d no idea! Here’s some info…

Wharfedale Dalesman on thevintageknob.org

1960s vintage Wharfedale slimline loudspeaker

And here’s a wonderful scan of a period brochure. Frankly, after fifty years plus they probably sound fairly naff, but if somebody wants one it’s a rare find.

Thank you for all your help. Much appreciated. 🙂

Once you have decided exactly what they are you might check they actually work and see what condition they are in and then advertise them on eBay perhaps.....

They do work well as I had them tested recently. Have no idea what they are worth. They were £25 each in 1960! 🤣

Adjusted for inflation, that 2x £25 in 1960 would be worth around £1,215.64 in 2024.

That's very precise, I think I will use that in my advertising post! 🤣🤣

They are only worth what someone is prepared to pay for them and nobody here knows that....
As I said put them on eBay and see what you get offered.

It has me interested 😁..........
I see maybe an amp etc in the background, may i ask what system are/were they connected to ?

 

[Stuart83]

Out of interest (always had a penchant for vintage gear) I found 2 pairs of those wharfdale speakers online from 75- 100 £ ono (pick click and sound soul) and a pair of perhaps their crossovers for 9.99 😂.
There was a pair on ebay but it seems they remained unsold after 2 bids.

They are all in good working order as had them tested not long ago

It would appear you have a little slice of history in the early sugden amp.

I haven't got time to look further today but it would be worth a little rudemantery research into it's value for yourself in regards to selling it.

I know the some of the earlier ones go for a respectable price.
I have attached some information to help you more accurately target your search into it's worth.

That is very kind of you. Thank you. I will have a look now. 🙂

These look museum-worthy, if there is such a worthy destiny these days.

Nice amp and tuner... Certainly worth advertising on various hifi for sale websites
