Back to the 27 Aperiodic speaker. After years of offering them with no takers I very sadly started to dismantle them for spares tonight.
I took out the tweeters first.
Then took the KEF SP1014 mid/bass drivers and saw this:
What the hell is this, I thought.
A closer examination with the phone camera revealed:
A row of big Jensen paper caps in big cases. Surely this can't be right for a cottage industry mid-70s speaker, at a time when big names like KEF were still using electrolytics?
The cabinet is cross-braced as well!
Maybe I should put those tweeters back in...

I understand they were quite complex speakers, so the sophisticated crossover doesn’t
surprise me.

Hi guys,
This is a new account as I've just been given my dad's old system. The speakers are griffin (the 25s, if I'm picking up the info correctly!). This is the only place I can find any information on them at all.
How on earth do i hook them up to an amp? The back is a fantastic mystery with just 'left' and 'right' stickers, and a small metal pin opening.
Though i hesitate to admit it to this kind of forum my dad's original way of hooking them up was to 'jam the wire in until it worked'.
I do have photos but don't know where to host them that will allow me to still post here

Hi and welcome!
The small metal pin opening sounds a bit like a description of a 2 pin DIN socket- my Griffin 27 have these.
You'd need an appropriate connector on the wires, like this:
If you have speaker wire with banana plugs attached (as many people do), there are adaptors available- I used this method with my Griffins.
