Upon opening one of the cabinets, I found a surprise waiting inside...a most excellent surprise:

Yes - a B-209 midrange speaker and a Bozak 3-way crossover network!
So these are B-302A speakers, not B-300s. That is a great thing.
I had read on AudioKarma that the Bozak nameplates are just pressed into place. Whoever posted that information was exactly right - carefully, using a putty knife, I was able to easily remove both Bozak nameplates from the front of each speaker without damaging either one.
The backs of both speakers have been modified, more than once. Both have extra phone jack speaker terminals, with holes cut into the backs to accommodate them. Plus the backs have a couple more extra holes in them as well. Yes, I could just cut new plywood backs, but then they would not have "MODEL E-300" stamped on the backs anymore.
I'll figure out some way to repair the originals or, at least, to seal off the holes. The backs won't be visible in normal use so they do not have to look the best.
