Generally resistance readings have little to do with speakers needing repair.
Cone sag, or rubbing voice coils is usually what causes reconing. If the suspension looks pretty uniform I would not worry.
Tough weeks in the Mid-west, to my hearing and some equipment, lost 2 and maybe a half, pieces of eq due to static electricity I think. Checked the humidity in my house and its around 19%..... So i decided to check the Ohms on my Altecs and was wondering if someone could tell me if these are around the areas that speakers of this vintage, should be, or if something is amiss, and it is GPA time. The 604 8gs lows are 08.1 the hi's are 06.3 and 06.2, 416 8b's are 06.3 and the 802 8g's are 06.8. Thanks any info would be great!!!

Your neighbors called. They like your music.
FWIW, the DCR the OP is showing in all cases is right in the range of what i would expect to see for those particular models in good electrical health.
Considering the working voltages of speaker system components, i think it would be highly unlikely that static could cause them any harm. I agree with OG.
OTOH, 19% humidity is going to shrink some woods and wood products over time, check all mounting bolts and screws for uniform tightness.
Influenza virus loves low humidity too.
Not all vegetables make good leaders.
19% humidity is very low. try about 35 %
