Any idea on value for these speakers. Seem very interesting.

Very Rare 1960s Sound Stat-4 Electro Static 3 way Speakers. made in Japan. great sound. 4 metal plates for tweeters plus midrange and woofer. cabs measure 12-1/2 deep x 15 wide x 27-1/2 high.

No affiliation.

Looks like Radio Shack speakers .....Realistic Electrostat 2a or something like that. Probably not worth that $450 by a long shot....

That's a big 10-4.
Or, more to the point, 4a. Electrostat-4a, as they were sold under Radio Shack's brand. This from 1964 via www.radioshackcatalogs.com

I have a pair of 2as. The single-ended electrostatic tweeters actually sound pretty good -- but no way in heck are even the 4as worth more than, I dunno, 50 to 100 smackers the pair.

Cool speakers but he's nuts on price. Maybe 1/4 that.

To the OP, there's much better choices for speakers available on Craigslist in your location:

How he bends the grill forward so you can have a look inside makes me cringe.
