I chatted with the seller today.
It will cost me $$ to get them shipped. I've asked him for some additional pictures and some more info about their condition.
Anyone know what these have gone for in recent times?
These are great tuned cabinets. Would make a fun DIY project with some new Mantarays, 902's and woofers from GPA (and build some crossovers). Or go with original vintage Model 14 woofers, crossovers and 902's... Good price on these as well

Fedex site says Fla to Va two fifty pound boxes 72 bucks...
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
I was going to suggest you drive to pick them up--thinking Virginia to Florida--no big deal. Boy, does my sense of geography stink! I just did google maps and it's 14 hours from Virgina Beach to Port St. Lucie, Florida. I can tell you $40 is a great deal for a pair of these cabs if in good shape but not sure what empty 14 cabs "usually" go for.
EDIT: Looks like OG beat me to the punch. I just posted and see he got his comment in first. I can tell you $72 shipping plus $40 ($112 total) is well worth it IMHO. I love those cabs (and my 14's in general).....

still have to "trust" the seller to pack them appropriately.
U-ship is always worth a shot as well. FL to VA is a heavily traveled route, you may find a safer,cheaper ride with a moonlighter from a moving company or similar professional mover. uShip - The Online Shipping Marketplace - Ship Freight, Furniture, Cars or Moves

Wow, you guys are an absolute wealth of info!
Never heard of uShip - that is very cool. I was thinking if I could get them in nice shape for $150 I'd do it.
Then I really could do a WAF-ok project!!
Just for info GPA makes that horn, around 21-22 bucks. And AFAIK blown 414's can be reconed as the correct woof? Somebody call me out if that's wrong...

14 and 15 woofers are odd ducks in the Altec woofer world. The 14 woofer has a bit more motor than the 15, but neither have the 3 inch VC of the 414 motor. Yet the bigger challenge is the mounting diameter and bolt circle, odd dimensions as the stock woofers have a 1 inch wide mounting rim and gasket. Overall diameter of my model 15 woofers is 13-1/2 inches.Somebody call me out if that's wrong...

I've got a pretty clean pair of 414-8Cs:
Will these work in the M14 cabs?
Thanks for the clarification Bowtie. That wide flange could be an issue...maybe not.
