they lived in a basement most of their life, so the steel stands are in dire need of a refinish.
a few of the drivers have minor damage (thanks to the rear grille being lost forever).
the model 901 eq had a bit of a chunk missing from the wooden case it's in, but works fine.
i think the price is just about right for free.
they still work as they should and they sound great (relative to how 901's are supposed to sound, anyway).
so if anyone wants these things as an easy project or as just some ugly speakers that sound pretty good, send me an email. i'm moving into my first house in two weeks and if they're not gone by then, it's to the heap with them.

3 out of 18 drivers are slightly bad, and the surrounds are bleeding out a little bit (all the cat hair will be included at no additional charge)
save these from the trash.
