Well done on winning the auction and welcome to the forum! Reading back through this thread should help you with the your project. Also, take a look here... http://0339436.netsolhost.com/WordPress/gs401-speaker/
Your first Gales with those serial numbers in the low hundreds are clearly very early. I haven't come across any mention of a "black" crossover but am aware of a 'Carmichael' (US built) version which is brown. There was quite a bit of swapping and changing with the earlier models - different pots, cloths, finishes, fixings etc.
Enjoy.
