Beveridge speakers-does anyone still use them?

I have owned or listened to many vintage classic speakers. I have never heard these speakers. About 15 years ago I almost bought a pair of the model 2's. What are your reaction to these speakers? Are they still available used? How would they compare to modern electrostatic speakers like Soundlabs and Martin Logans? Could they operate today without significant restoration? I have heard that the manufacturer's son is remanufacturing these speakers at nosebleed prices.

Today is the due date for my wife to give birth to our child (no labor yet!)so I am looking for something to distract me! Any distractions welcome! Bob

My daughter just turned 12 and is nearly 5'5" and the Beveridges are still singing! Time has really flown by! Hope everyone involved with hurricanes this weekend stays safe and sound.

Heard a pair in late 80s.  I recall them as imaging monsters but very polite

I think honestly a modern pair of Magnepan 3.7s would outdistance
them by a tremendous margin and likely for a lot less$$

I have a set of the tube-driven Beverages in my garage.  They were operational when I took them a few years back, and then have been in storage.  I'm in the NW Chicago suburban region.  Any interest for a new home?

I believe they are the Model 2, judging from the Beverage website.  They sit on the detachable metal base and measure two feet across.
