I thought Wharfdale owners might enjoy this little sales sheet the original owner of the 60s I have for sale, saved.
I am a little unclear about what the penned in lines and diagrams mean.
It would appear that there ias a 12 mfd capacitor in the circuit at some point; but other than that I don't know what's going on.

What Brian said about post #198 is absolutely-true, and since this is meant to be a continuing thread for Wharfedale owners, hopefully the mod will do what is necessary to keep it from getting moved to Dollars & Sense. That aside, I would like to thank David for posting that particular W60 brochure, which I did not have.
I've spent the last 6 days listening to my restored/retubed Fisher 800C and my alnico-loaded W60's, which I believe use the same exact crossover as the 2-way W60's with a CERAMIC woofer (Still not certain whether or not there was a 2-way W60 version with a ceramic cone-tweeter, but since there was a ceramic version of the Super 3, I have to assume there could have been a later, ceramic-magnet version of the alnico Super 5 type cone-tweeter as well, including the Super 5 variant that they used in the W60's).
That original, first-generation W60 is quite an underrated speaker. I still can't figure out how mine can sound so-damn-good without a recap. (But keep in mind what I've said in the past about the first-generation W*0 models and polypropylene capacitors, as in, they don't like 'em... Get some n.o.s. oil caps instead... I'd bet on a pair of unrecapped W60's sounding a lot better than ones refurbed with poly caps, based on my experience with my own W60's and 90's).
The original W60 tweeter (alnico magnets on woofer and tweeter) is a variant on the old Super 5 that was used for over a decade and predated the Super 3. Quite tweeter, actually. Same signature-sound as the Super 3. My W60's sound wonderful cranked up. The alnico woofers in mine are running full-range, and the bass really fattens up with some volume. It amazes me how they can sound awesome with some old Frank Sinatra and then sound equally-awesome playing Soundgarden (I say this because I've done it... I have the video recordings to prove it
... Those Wharfie cone-tweeters can really-cut when they need to, and yet there is no stridency, and this makes them a VERY-versatile speaker, especially for a 50 year old 2-way with one cap and alnico drivers).
