Comments: It is totally amazing to be able to see catalogues from half a century ago! This is great work. I own a pair of Concept EQ5 loudspeakers(made in 1975)and they still rock. Long live Altec Lansing. May the legend never die.

Comments: I was wondering if anyone could help me regarding altec 601 speakers. I bought a pair of 601As with the HF section not working. Through, I believe Great Plains Audio, purchased two diaphrams. I was disappointed to see they had round wire and the bad ones I took out had flat wire. I've read in the catalog that 601Bs also have flat wire, however, 601Cs (I just bought a pair) do not say flat wire for the HF side. Is from the b to the c model did altec change to round wire. Does anyone have any history on these?? Many thanks. Tom

Comments: I found your website while researching to help an ol friend locate shipmates of LSM-414 who invaded Okinawa in April of 1945. One of your featured links is a Mr. John Edwards who "...participated in the battle of Iwo Jima and also the invasion of Okinawa where his ship was attacked by Japanese Kamikaze planes, with the loss of many lives."

In the sense that it sometimes a very small world, if any of you can help me locate shipmates from LSM-414 at the invasion of Okinawa, please contact me.

Sorry to "exploit" your company for unrelated purposes, but then again, if this works, I won't be so regretful.

Much success to you all.

Comments: FANTASTIC !!! What a great site for JBL fans. Hard to believe this has been done out of love and not for monetary reasons. My audio "journey" started off 15 years ago with a small quality 2 way JBL - don't remember the model - went on through Quad 57's, Tannoy, Lowther TPI etc, etc. Ended up, through a stroke of luck, with a pair of S/3100's. Anyone who thinks JBL no longer makes great speakers should check these out....they are great. I have had these for 3 years now and I really cannot imagine ever changing them for anything else - they just play everything so damn good - now if only I could find a pair of Everest's for surround sound...mmm...

two I still own my L-100's I bought in 1970 and
the Decade's in 1976. Originally with the C36's
I used a crown D-175 amp it was incredible I could
out sound most small bands then I sold the C36's
and a year latter bought the L-100's. I still have
my crown equipment the D-175 is no longer stepped
up to the DC 300A still great sounds from old
stuff!! I was glad to find your website its great!
Take care and keep up the great work.

Comments: THIS IS A SENSATIONAL SITE. I'VE BEEN A BIG FAN OF JBL LOUDSPEAKERS SINCE THE MID 70'S WHEN I PURCHASED MY FIRST PAIR OF L100'S. I WAS STATIONED IN GERMANY DURING THAT TIME. OTHER GUYS IN MY UNIT OWNED A PAIR OF L65 JUBALS. THE SOUND FROM THEM WERE EXTROADINARY. I'VE GOTTEN THE PLEASURE OF TALKING HAL COX, A LONG TIME JBL ENTHUSIAST FROM MILL VALLEY CA. HE WAS A CLOSE ACQUAINTANCE OF JAMES LANSING. AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE SELLS MOST CLASSIC JBL SYSTEMS SUCH AS THE PARAGON, HARTSFIELD, EVEREST AND OTHERS. EVEN FROM THE FIRST LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM THAT MR. LANSING HAD MANUFACTURED FOR THE "THE JAZZ STORY" BACK IN THE EARLY 20'S. MR. COX IS AN INSTITUTION WHO CONTINUES TO CARRY CLASSIC JBL SYSTEMS FOR OVER 65 YEARS. TO ME, TODAY'S JBL SPEAKERS DOESN'T COMPARE TO THE PAST LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEMS. AS WELL AS DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE. WELL, GUYS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. AND THANKS FOR CONTINUING THE TRADITION.

As JBL's National Service Manager from 1972-1981
I have many fond memories of the people and
products during those years. It was the best job
someone in my position could ever ask for. Sometimes
I think I should have paid to work there, every day
was a learning experience. We were challenged to
do our best for the customers and the company. My
service group was without doubt, the best in the
business, I'll never forget them.
