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

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

Very liquid sounding speakers.

If you are looking for a new home for them, they are welcome at my house.

Just showed this thread to my daughter who is now 14! She laughed as I read some of the posts to her.  I am enjoying the Beveridge 2's during the pandemic! Lucky to have both my Beveridges and daughter (and rest of the family) to help with being isolated at our house in Illinois. Be safe and don't be AudioGONER (even though many say this is a dying hobby!)
