We need a lot more information than that. We need details of everything with pictures. The only thing I can value are Altec 604E drivers and would value those at $300 each give or take $50 either side.

Those are ugly amateur speaker cabinets and have a negative value, plus the fact you can't put different bass speakers in the same box. So this was a hack amateur job from the outset.

Your next problem is that you do not have the Altec Crossovers for the Altec 604Es, so this detracts from their value.

If the crossover was designed by the same person who designed the box, there will be not much to be said for it.

The Utah driver is a mid price driver, of much lower quality and value than the Altec. From what little I can find out about them it seems they were very crude crossovers.

So I would value each Altec speaker at $450 to $650 a piece. That seems the going rate. The correct crossovers seem to fetch from $200 to $500 each depending on condition.

I would think your crossovers are pretty much worthless.

The Utah speakers I will value at $75 each.

No one in their right mind will pay to ship those cabinets. The only thing of any real value you have are those Altec 604 E coaxial drivers.

When I looked online those Mastering lab inc crossovers were just for those Altec Lansing and cheapest ones on ebay were 1000,00 bucks .604E Super Duplex speakers .the cabinets are definitely ugly but they are definitely not a hack job they have a devider in them and they are 3/4 wood and covered with solid oak strips.

I seen worse, but these cabs are darn ugly. If you could get better prices for these drives on ebay - all power to you

Good luck with your sales

The fact remains, that the only item of any real value there is the Altec coaxial drivers. You will get more for them by themselves than if you sell the whole units. Those drivers are the only things collectors will be after, and they will be after them, assuming they are in good shape. The compression horns may well need new diaphragms if they have not been replaced already.
