Re: CRS+ (2 board vs 1 board) questions.
The big difference between them is the 2 board blade/Blade crossovers both blades carry signal. The 1 board pin/blade crossovers, only the pins carry signal, the blades connect to the ground inside the cabinet to the negative binding posts. Therefore you have the ability to use monobloc's or non-common ground amps only then does the blade come into play, with the use of the AI-1 cable or a dreadnought to tie the grounds together.

Re: Looking for help identifying and dating fathers Polk Audio 10s
We don't need no stinkin' time machines 🤣. We have old magazines.
Here's a Polk advertisement with the early 10B with SL1000 and black basket midwoofers and passive radiators and you can see that the Polk Audio badge is now on the enclosure instead of the grille and the grille exposes the bottom panel edge of the enclosure.
So to the OP, you can pretty much rule out that yours are 1984 10B within reasonable odds. If Spock were here maybe we could get the odds.

@DeRod You're right. Those silver basket midwoofers and passives would not have shipped originally with SL1000. And an LOL from f1 is basically a badge of honor around here 😉

Something some seem to ignore. Polk changed just about everything on the fly back then, so it's entirely possible those tweeters are the original ones.
Entertaining for sure...

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
New addition to the expanding collection, this is a pre-show printing advertising the upcoming concert. And JImi Hendrix’s first appearance at the Fillmore in 1967.
This poster, for the “Opening of the Fillmore Summer Series,” is historically significant as it featured the Jimi Hendrix Experience as an opening act. This was also the first Fillmore appearance by Jimi Hendrix. These shows were just days after Jimi's appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival, where he set his guitar on fire and blew away the audience.
When this show was booked by Bill Graham, Hendrix was a relatively new name that few had heard of, and so he was billed third, opening for Gabor Szabo and the big kids on the block in San Francisco, the Jefferson Airplane. After one night or possibly two, the Airplane noticed they were playing their second set to a half-empty hall - everyone0 had been there to see Jimi Hendrix! Both Szabo and the Airplane asked if instead he would play last and they would open for HIM. Jimi Hendrix never opened for anyone again and it’s important to note that the Beatles had stopped touring in August 1966 and with the possible exception of the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix was The Most Important Rock Star of the late 1960s era and until his death in September, 1970.
Gábor Szabó was a jazz guitarist, who was born in Budapest, Hungary. When he was 20, he moved to California and he later attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. In 1961, Szabo became a member of a quintet including Charles Lloyd, playing what has been described as chamber jazz, Szabo was influenced by the rock music of the 1960s, particularly the use of feedback. The song "Gypsy Queen" from Szabo's debut solo album, Spellbinder (1966), became a hit for Carlos Santana
