I am tempted to buy some early 80's 501's which are cheap albeit ugly
and beat up. I would like to rebuild them with a new shell and make
them new (er). Is it worth it? are the early 80's speakers and
crossovers good???? talk to you later...

I advise against expending all that effort. Boseboxes are pre-engineered
for recycling, in anticipation of their second lives serving a more useful
purpose than rendering horrid-sounding imitation music. Here's an
illustrative example of a beneficially repurposed Bosebox, albeit one that
cries out for an infusion of imagination:
