New to the MG-IIIa, need help

I just picked up a pair of late model (s/n: 0649xx and ribbons 127xx) MG-IIIas and have searched how to hook them up properly and how to evaluate the ribbons. The bass and mids seem to work fine with no buzzing using 80 wpc into 8Ω and some tones from 40-3k Hz.
I have not heard the ribbons on music of with the 3kHz tone. So I checked on and with the fuse removed, it has 0.7Ω resistance. I thought I would ask before jumping in any deeper. I figure new ribbons will be required, but help in making this determination would be nice.
Maybe it would be nice to have a list of things to do to check these out before diving into repairs. Thanks in advance.
