Default older Bose 501's, worth rebuilding???

I am currently looking at some early 80's ugly old 501's. The
crossovers and the speakers look to be in good shape while the cabinet
is just plain ugly....

I would like to build a modern cabinet: is it worth it? Are these
components any good? If so, any plans for them (would like to build
a taller tower if possible) Thanks

Larry

I would not use the Bose drivers. They weren't anywhere near state of
the art when they were manufactured and even less so now. Chuck

And that's being very kind.

All good fortune,
