Metrogon had paper surround woofers..
The crossovers are probably the issue. It may be the wires are corroded.
One thing you can check is to push carefully on the woofer cones to see if they move back and forth. If they are stuck, they may be damaged from corrosion. (they can be professionally rebuilt)
If they move back when you press down, and back to where they were by themselves.. GREAT! then the woofers are probably in good shape.
My very first speakers were JB lansing in 1965
