Pricing for parts is mid to high but the cool factor is priceless 😎
I’d buy them if I were in the market for such a thing (if they tested ok) ……mid century modern diy artwork.

To make a fair estimate, all the parts and its designations should be specified first, otherwise whatever it is worth to a buyer.
Some people think they have VINTAGE GOLD for sale!
Those cabinets look to have a poor job of refinishing them.
And for a 1950's speaker.....way too much asking price.
Tell that seller to Get Real.

look at the picture, the part numbers are listed on the cabinet, along with serial numbers.To make a fair estimate, all the parts and its designations should be specified first, otherwise whatever it is worth to a buyer.
Woofers, tweets and XOs around $700 retail for the set if they all work and no issues. To flip 50 to 60% of that
Now calculate the worth of equivalent quality new drivers and decide what percentage of it should the vintage ones cost, considering all the risks involved with such a purchase, etc.
Is there a modern equivalent to the lancing 075 and D131? I thought much of the love of this vintage stuff was 'they don't make them like that any more'?
The rear panel is de laminating, it seems.
Could be dressed up for sale.
Avoid it.

First off, if you need to repair any of the drivers, JBL is not offering current repair parts. There are aftermarket repair parts available.
However you can buy copies of the bullet tweeter and 12" woofer for $140.00 and $125.00.
Then there is the minor issue of the 075 bullet tweeter crossover frequency of at least 2,500 Hz. The woofer is good to no more than 800 Hz. to maintain coverage.
