    Minneapolis craigslist under "Entertainment HD System" seems to be a pair of 515s and some other vintage speakers. NA.

    How do you know they aren't 416? Hell of a deal either way!

    I wouldn't hold my breath on them being 515's of any variety, but there's only one way to know for sure.

    Looks like the seller's accuracy in description has little hope for better than 10-15%.

    The 12 inch speaker doesn't look like any Altec i'm familiar with, midrange horn is obviously an EV 8hd, with a little luck those piezo's are genuine motorola and haven't been shredded with high volumes. Probably 200 worth there with no further investigation necessary where value of parts is concerned, be nice to know specifically what parts though.

    All that said, i'd like to know more about the build and see some inner details of the construction and electronics. They could surely have potential.

    As usual you are correct sir! A friend of mine picked these up, turns out the 15's were 416As the other parts were none Altec...

    A pair of original 416a are worth more than 200 bucks though. Maybe not what 515 are worth but still not bad.
    He could probably sell off the other parts and have some free Altec woofers
