SWR Goliath III 4x10 with rattling speakers, worth $75?

Hey, I may have scored a deal on an older SWR Goliath 4x10 on craigslist that has rattling speakers as the poster described it. Although dirty, the cabinet itself seems to be in quite decent condition. I may go check this out today, is this worth $75-100?

I have a pre-fender goliath III that occasionally has "rattling" if the grill gets pushed in during transport. I just grab the grill and pull it away from the drivers. The difference is a millimeter or less. If it's as simple as that, then yes, I'd say it's worth the asking price.

If it's the actual speaker cones, would it still be worth picking up? I'd be willing to invest a bit of cash to have a decent working cabinet rather than something cheap

well, the one I have works perfectly, and I scored it for $175. more likely these seem to go for around 3 bills, so if you can fix it for less than $200... then again, you have to deal with the headache of fixing it.

If the wood is still solid, it's worth $100 by itself.

The trick is going to be getting suitable replacements that will actually work well in that cabinet.
