Need info on JBL C51 Apollo speakers

Hi!

I have a chance to buy a pair of JBL C51 Apollo speakers. Beautiful cabinets! But, I don't know what kind of drivers are in them, how old they may be, what the specs are (such as power handling, etc.), and their value. I've searched the web for this model and only made a couple of "hits" in Japan. In Japanese, so no help. A friend bought these at an estate sale for $15, along with a Marantz preamp and amp, also for $15! He's keeping those, but will sell the speakers. He has hooked them up and said they sound fine, no "rattles" or other unusual noises from aging. I already have a "music room" system and interested in these for the living room because of the beautiful cabinets, and I'm sure with JBL's reputation they will sound good. Any and all info most appreciated!

Yes, buy them if you can. They could have any number of
different JBL systems in them---from a single D-123 to
the top of the line S-8 System: consisting of the LE15A,
and the 375 horn driver with lenses and crossover. Best
way to tell is to take the back off, look at the speakers
for model numbers and name. If nothing else, the cabinet
alone is worth buying....Carl

If you don't want them I sure do. They would go so well with my Delphi equipment cabinet. I'm in Michigan
