    They look too good to me. I just can't imagine how something is 56 years old, and not a scratch.
    To be fair, the seller doesn't say that they haven't been refinished, but ...

    Re: Nice will go high

    Folks use to take care of good stuff before it became a disposable society. My bedroom furniture is Drexel, a BD gift in '60 and except for the normally hidden bed rails and of course the minor scuffing a desk chair is bound to get, still look like new even after three house moves and used by my daughter in her teen years. There's no way many of us can afford such quality today and we wouldn't have either if my dad hadn't been an officer of a fairly large chain furniture retailer that allowed him to buy at cost.

    Mike remember with corner cabs they are tucked in a corner and out of the way of the room traffic so IMO they have a better chance of staying scratch free then a regular box type enclosure that maybe out in the room a bit.. Dunno,but they do look to be original cabs in super fine shape..

    The kiss of death for me on a speakers price(Meaning how expensive they will be) is that they already have 3 questions on them with (I'm EXTREMELY INTERESTED).So there is obviously a lot of interest in them for good reason.They look all original too,with 1956 original drivers (604C's)... If these sell for less than $3000, I'll be very surprised ! They have been viewed 437 times so far with 3 days left. They look to be almost in Brand New condition from the photos... No easy task being 56 years old.But again they are corner cabs so that should help keep them in mint condition IMO.

    And generally away from direct sunlight that fades color and finish. Corner placement is an excellent point AB.

    I surely don't wanna burst your bubble, i'll be really surprised if they sell for less than 5 or 6K. But, this is the time of year they'd likely bring the least.

    I'm pretty sure the only way they'd bring less than 3K is if i were the seller.

    Basically the same point.I think they should get over $3K and so do you !

    I'm pretty sure the only way they'd bring less than 3K is if i were the seller.
    LMAO !! Or me for that matter !
