Altec A7 yay or nay?


I have the opportunity to buy  Altec A7 cabinets ($100 a pair) and Horns ($260 a pair) without any cones to either.
The cabinets and grills are in great shape as is the Horn.
My question is, is it worth a punt? as a DIY project that has to be done on the cheap.
Any suggestions as to alternative cones/crossover would be greatly appreciated. 
The chap does have the crossover also, not sure what he is asking though.
This is more of a whim purchase and not a necessity.
I know one thing, it is going to be hard to slip them into the house without anyone noticing, lol...

Man, those some big boxes. I haven't heard a pair in years. Very common as part of a sound reinforcement system in the early days. I suspect the aftermarket for crossovers could raise the bar. Also wonder if a sub would make sense at some point to give you the bottom octaves. The hard part will getting them past your spousal unit with a 'nah, no big deal, they disappear into the decor.' 
Go for it!

Very familiar with the Altecs, and have owned the Khorns and am a Klipsch Heritage fanatic. In a home environment, imo and ime the Khorns are much better. I believe you also own other horns, if I am not mistaken ( Oris ). Enjoy ! MrD.
The cones are where all the money is.

Assuming you have the space, and willigness to acquire the motors, sounds like a good deal.

But otherwise, maybe take a look at Great Plains Audio for a variety of kits and cabinets you may find more life friendly.

Best,

I'll check Great Plains Audio, and look at what they have cost wise. I indeed do own Oris 150's, Klipschorns (standard), Nagaoka BLH, and a pair of Impulse H1's orf in another continent. I like the idea/price of the JBL 2225 woofers. I got to say my better half is not smitten with the Idea of another pair of speakers in the house.Thanks for all your responses.!
Thanks for all your responses and comments, alas it was all in vain as somebody snapped them up before I could get to the persons house. 
On to the next venture......
