It didn't sound crass, it just sounded, wrong....... if I was understanding what you were trying to convey. It sounds like the guy at the speaker shop only pays attention to new speaker sales, or can't be bothered with anything under $100. A friend of mine that did/does pro-sound places little value on anything Altec, because it's "old and isn't servicable".......... My point is that usually retailers aren't a good source for info on anything vintage, and don't know the difference's between what sells well, and what doesn't. For instance the blue frame in the auction below helped greatly with the price.

Vintage 1958 12

What tends to have very little if any value, in my experience are small cone mids and cone tweeters that I find in consoles. Most of my experience is with Magnavox and Fisher consoles, so that may not apply to other companies......... I've never even seen a Pilot console.
