Fosgate Center any good?

Was checking my usual thrift spot for vintage Polks and found this single speaker. It is built like a tank (@30LBS) and has 2 sticky domes.
Sticker just said "tested" but lady can't confirm it works.
Would these be worth fixing up?

Nice felt. I found this on ebay:
Full set of Fosgate Audionics home theater speakers including 3 MC220 LCR speakers, 2 SD180 bipole surrounds and 1 FS400 down firing subwoofer. They were probably part of the first THX certified speaker generation.
These are big speakers painted in matte black that are designed to be installed behind acoustically transparent material in a full-size theater. They were working fine when they were pulled out of the old theater. They are probably 15 years old (may be more). They are in fine condition with few scratches. Just a bit dusty,,,
They will be sold as a set only. The buyer will need to pick them up in Sebastopol as they are too heavy to ship.
Thank you.
