Can't comment on the value but certainly rare, in good condition and a piece of UK audio history.

Had four of the 2080's in the cupboard for years along with a couple of 2090 compression drivers, crossovers and 2093 12 cell horns. They came out of an old cinema in London. Never got around to doing anything with them and then I went through a JBL phase and all the westrex bits ended up in distant lands along with all the Vitavox drivers I had.
