Looks like a great home-made job... with great components from that period... leave them alone, of course you could change them... but I am sure they were built for "his" listening preferences as its obvious he knew what he was doing... not worth selling IMO as they are not factory JBL enclosures.. yeah you could part them, but why? You have a unique and interesting speaker that I know will sound like nothing else in the world...
just play them and enjoy them... Like driving a kit Shelby vs. the original..
