My ears are bleeding
Stamped "Voice", I would have to go with "Voice of the Theater", but I'm not an expert.
Good Eye.
It's hard to read the label and perhaps difficult to ID even for an expert.
This is where my hope lies.
Those look like early RWB 515 woofers -- depending on condition, there could be more than a few $K sitting on that shelf.
I suggest that you get better photos -- especially of the surrounds, spiders and ID decals -- and if you can post your questions on the Altec Users Board: http://www.hostboard.com/forums/f700/altec-users-board.html
I almost forgot to add that if they are what I think they may be, you have found a quad of the most desirable Altec-Lansing PM woofers out there.

tubed,
I know this will get the thread kicked to Dollars and Sense, but I just had to share this link for your benefit: http://www.hostboard.com/forums/f700/179572-gonna-expensive-feepay-515s.html

Correct positive ID.:yes:
However, be VERY careful about the valuation of them as the 3 that are easily visible have been re-coned which reduces their value by close to a factor of 10.

IMO, the cones are the wrong color, the cone number looks too long, the number is accompanied by other characters, the numbers are too vivid, and the orientation and location of the cone numbers is not correct for original.
Add to that it looks like the woofer face down has hand writing on the cone.
Anything other than a light silver "20159" printed on the rear of the cone in an annular arrangement on the outer portion is reason to be suspicious of a recone.

Only the one photo, unfortunately. Quite a deal for someone if legit: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=461011

Thanks DC!
FWIW, once one of these subtle details leaves it's teethmarks in your behind(where your wallet's generally parked), you tend to remember them for future reference.:yes:
