My bad...there is one pic of a serial number. Using the magnifying tool in ebay, it looks like 5226 or 5228. So, assuming the other channel is around the same number, they should work with the Dreadnaught or AI-1. If the left channel is less than 5000, then not so much...Sonus Faber Liuto / Coda Continuum / Anthem STR Preamplifier / Oppo BDP-105D / Technics SP-15 w/SAEC WE-308SX & Ortofon AS-309 arms / Ikeda 9C2 & Dynavector XX2 Mk II carts

The type of interconnect socket is the determining factor of what they are.
Blade/blade = Original SDA SRS (non-compatible with Dreadnaught or AI-1).
Pin/Blade = SDS SRS 1.2 The speakers either have the RD0-194's or they been TL'd depending if the RD0-198 tweeters are installed along with the appropriate changes to the crossover) or they are SDA SRS 1.2TL with the RD0-198's. Dreadnaught or AI-1 compatible.

A pair of SDA-SRS in Nashville for $1,000...but missing a mid. They look to be in good condition otherwise.

Those are 1.2's which can be converted to 1.2tl's. The binding post nuts need to be reversed, in order to hear them in correct phase. The diagram on the back is for the original SRS (blade/blade IC socket) and these are pin/blade.SDA SRS 2.3TL's

Looks like that one driver was torn out as you can see the spider.

Yeah, wondering if these are worth the price given the need for a replacement mid, crossover upgrades, etc."This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

I could probably get his price down a bit because of the damaged woofer. Of course I'd want to check movement on the other mid-woofers, and check overall condition.
