Don't know much about ...

... electro-stats.

A pair of KLH model 9 speakers has come up for sale locally. The guy that has them doesn't know audio and doesn't even know if they work. He doesn't even have any gear to hook up to 'em to see if they do work.

From hanging here for the last several years, I know enough to be dangerous. I know they could be anywhere from about 30-40+/- years old. I know about panel arcing and letting the panels charge up. Assuming they do work, what's a reasonable fair market value? if they don't, how big a money-pit / nightmare can they turn into?

Perhaps more directly, figuring they *will* have issues, are they something that a guy like me with limited knowledge and DIY skills should even mess with at all? Oh, I do know enough to completely discharge them before poking around inside! :)

Thanks
