AMEN! Those Altec Speakers are not worth $850!

What is a fair price for these then? The JBL woofers have to be worth about $250-300 alone. Then you have the 808s and 511 horns. Yes, they don't have original Altec woofers. How much more would they be worth if they had say 421 woofers in them? Just asking for because I'm curious.
IMO, any difference in value would be more sentiment driven than anything else. Of course we'd really need to see those D140's. Apparently the early gray frames that twist and cause voice coil misalignment if you overtighten the mounting screws are still sought after by a few folks. The ribbed cones suggest they're later black frame versions, but as OG mentions the recone parts were all interchangeable so they could be newer cones in older frames. One can never post too many pictures when selling.How much more would they be worth if they had say 421 woofers in them?
JBL no longer offers factory support/cone kits for these heritage drivers. Not unlike the 421's, their lack of serviceability has taken a bite out of their value.
Not all vegetables make good leaders.
Agreed condition is paramount. D140 in need of recone, 150 pair tops. Still likely go higher than blown 421's.
850 is about right in GOOD condition, actual value would take inspection.
