    In the future insist on Pictures inside and out. But as others have noted you can grab a pair of 604's to put in there.As GM also noted the EV driver has a baffle plug.Which originally probably had a 15" speaker in there. The cabs look pretty clean though.

    Put down the drink and get to work on finding a nice pair of 604's.Or you can swap out the baffle and install a 416 -811 horn and driver.You can find good deals on Craigslist.eBay prices are going through the roof.IMO you can get brand new drivers from Bill cheaper than original Altecs these days from that auction site....

    All The Best !

    I normally would request more pics but the auction was starting about an hour after i discovered them.by the time i registered on the site the auction was rolling.It wasn't an Ebay auction. I've been getting some really great deals on some of these estate auction sites.the only problem is that most of there search features are awfull and 9 out of 10 times the items are listed incorrectly...for instance about three months back i won a mc60 listed as "Electric Brain Unit and box of wire"
    32 bucks and it was mine.....I know that will never happen again but it makes things like this not so bad.....

    Those look like Madrid cabinets to me which came with 420y. 872A or B?

    Yeah they're deffinitely not Flamencos. I wonder if Heathkit made a mock Valencia like they did the Flamenco?
