Yes, I will try to get a better peek inside.I`ll post my findings. ( I feel like Magnum P.I.)

Magnum P.I., would this be like from way back? (I'm so much older that I forget, LOL!)
A couple of thoughts came to mind right after I sent the previous reply:
1. I've had limited but useful results by using a camera/flash shot at several angles on the xover area. The stretch on the fabric allows enough detail as to render some part numbers readable. Of course, it depends...
2. The same trick MAY work with a strong LED flashlight.
3. In any event, use the LED flashlight trick to count the tweeter aluminum traces from the front side. Normal is 8 traces. Old (previous century like mine) 6 traces. New...probably the same 8 traces as in recent times. Do you remember how many traces your original MMGs had?
Sorry, I don`t remember much about my old MMG`s. Except I used a 2.2 mh coil and a 12 uf Kimber cap on the mod. I think I will give Magnepan a buzz tomorrow with serial numbers. Also I`ll give the flash shot and strong light a try. I think this is the part that I enjoy even more than the music. The quest
Late into this, I realized that you also mentioned "stands" and raising the MMGs as next steps.
You probably know this already. Vertical standing is always good. There are pitfalls that may have to be dealt with in some rooms but still...vertical is the way to go.
Stands & raising can be great, or not. There are many considerations for "tweaking to best system potential". So, I hope that you are not spending much money on this just yet. Some DIY experimentation may buy you a ton of cheap mileage.
I remember on my first set of MMG`s the vertical position and a little more area on the floor made a noticeable positive difference.The stands will be very basic and only cost about 25$. The brass screws were the most part.
