Well, I don't know how you can say no to a set like that, Bob. Please be sure to at least take your camera and get us some pictures of the box.
If you do decide to go ahead with it, I would be as gentle as possible with the clean-up. Those old decals aren't hard to dislodge or damage, especially if the lacquer covering them is going.
The grillcloth looks pretty grim, but who knows, I've seen some amazing work done on speaker grills that I wouldn't have even tried to clean, and that cloth only looks dirty, not damaged.
Good luck with it!
