I've never seen these before. Anyone familiar with them?

    They are all yours. I wasn't planning on bidding. Just curious about them. I think that has to be the oldest Polk's I have ever seen.

    Looks like somebody got a little too happy on that one grill. I mean, I know the effects vintage Polk can have on people, but come on, keep it to yourself!

    They are the original "Model 7"... same as a Monitor 7, but with an uncoated PR. Also note they have the old style model sticker on the back, and recessed velcro fasteners for the grills. Dead giveaways that they are early-run speakers.
    Ludicrous gibs!
