Wow thanks for all the quick info gents! I noticed the Motorola logo in the older cab but couldn't find a serial number for the life of me thank you for that link jbl man!

A lot of stuff I hadn't heard about cerwins before.. I'd always thought of them as fairly rugged 'stick em in a field' type boxes, clearly I need to work on my research! I'll have a gander at the crossover but by the sounds of it they're not worth spending too much on.

They were pretty good for the money, as long as you were smart enough to use them within their 250W rating.

I have used that Motorola piezo driver with even higher powered amps, but with my own custom crossovers.

They may not now be quite the same company as they were but CV have made some iconic audio products over the years.
When the original V-152 came out they were a very popular box for a 'speakers on stands' type set up. Even here in the UK where the original price point for these was about £700 for a pair (a lot more than in the States).
Given that at the time 3 of the biggest selling boxes in this price range were the Peavey Hisys 2, Vega V-152 and JBL Tr-125 (Ok these were a little cheaper) then for a DJ set i'd take the Vega's any day of the week.
Cheers, Chris.
