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...

Was it your horn that was going or has gone bad? I had my A7 woofer burn out a coil last week,meters zero..If you push on the cone you can feel and hear it drag. Time for a recone..but I would at least, for starters, take the back off and meter directly (after removeing the wires from the connectors) to see what the ohms are on the internal coil.
