Part out speakers and trash cabinets or sell complete
I asked this question on another forum so I apoligize in advance if there are readers from that site seeing this twice.
Over the weekend I bought 6 voice of the theater cabinets, 2 small altecs cabinets with 604e's, and a couple of misc. compression drivers. I am keeping a couple but am on the fence on what to do with the rest of the stuff. My first thought is to pull the speakers out and sell them and just trash the cabinets but before I do I thought I would ask around for opinions. None of the stuff has been tested.

Part Out Speakers and Trash Cabinets
A quick look at the pictures shows the cabinets in very good condition. Why in the world would you want to trash the cabinets? It might seem to be a popular thing to do on Ebay so as to maxamise profits and many of the sellers are destroying the cabinets in the process of removing the components and makeing them worthless. Possibly others may have a different opinion but if I'm going to buy a pair of speakers I'd like them all original and in one piece and not have to put a gig saw puzzel togeather. Go to a cabinet maker or woodworking shop and ask them to build the same cabinets today and I doubt you would be throwing them in the dumpster. If a buyer/bidder can't afford the cost of shipping components/cabinets that size they should just stick with a couple of Bose cubes. Sorry if I went overboard on the reply but trashing vintage cabinets pisses me off big time!
