Perkins Bass cabinets with Altec lansing Horns- vintage 70s

I am just curious about the value of Perkins bass bin cabinets and the Altec Lansing Horns with 808a Drivers. These were popular in the late 70s . There are in good condition ( you would have to put your own 15" speakers in and in the horns I would recommend new diaphragms)
Believe me I know there are more advance PA equipment out there but I am wondering if vintage stuff like that has a place for the Travelling Antique Show like Rogers Vintage Butcher Blocks drums or I should be using it for keeping warm in the winter.

Thanks :)

If they are Perkins boxes, they are worth updating. Using modern drivers, you should end up with some kickin powerful boxes.


Here is a thread that discusses them:
