Anyone know how I can get the metal grill plates for, say, my 4343 B's? Any good repo people you know of?

Hi,

Sometimes I see replicas of the metal nameplates listed on the Japanese Yahoo Auctions site (try below link). I checked and its not listed currently, but they do turn up regularly. When they do, they're always priced Buy It Now (I forget how much, sorry, but at US standards could be a bit pricey).

I can certainly give you a heads up notice when I see one up for sale. Give me a PM if you're interested.

[Zilch]

Hi guys,i've come across this thread and wonder if the parts listings is only for infos or are they really available and can be ordered?Stuff they don't have drops off the parts list with the annual update. Usually.

Give them a call. You may be surprised at what they've held on the shelf 20 years for you.... :)

[Ian Mackenzie]

I will look at this more closely next week when I have some spare time.

Thanks everyone.

Ian

Hi Ian if you can get any more concrete infos let me(us)know,cos i wonder if they would take care of an oversea call, by the way thanks Zilch for answering,i'll better try a mail see if they answer and keep you informed as well;)

[Mr. Widget]

Stuff they don't have drops off the parts list with the annual update. Usually.

Give them a call. You may be surprised at what they've held on the shelf 20 years for you.... :)That's the opposite of my experience... a few years back I was thrilled to see crossover components and foilcals etc. for the pair of 4355s I was working on... I phoned in to order them and not one of the parts on the "updated" list was valid. However I am sure they have some 20 year old parts sitting on the shelf that none of us are looking for.

That said, I definitely second Zilch's recommendation to give 'em a call... in a few minutes you'll know for sure if they do have what you are looking for.

I called Pro Parts months ago to inquire about the nameplates listed on their Misc Parts List. They were not available then and unless a miracle has happened, they're likely not available now. I would suggest that their parts list is badly outdated and in need of review.

[Zilch]

Sometimes you get lucky.

I got beautiful NOS grilles for my 4401's from JBL Pro parts last year. :thmbsup:

[Ducatista47]

They are not available, but it was interesting to find out. Got up early so I could make time to call before work (my shift is odd). 8:01 California time, my first call to JBL! I'm new at this, so I'm excited. A nice lady answers and says the guys upstairs are not in yet, give it five or ten minutes and call back. 8:09 I call back and all I can do is leave a message, they are too busy. Well, Monday AM is a rough time for service everywhere.

They can't get back to me and I go to work, get buried myself and can't call until...their lunch. OK, I call back after their lunch, on my lunch. No, the part is not available and she sounds like she has already fielded a number of inquiries and knows all about the damn nameplate and I can tell she is being very professional and patient to not phrase it that way. So how many of us called today about 60176-16? I gave the part number and she said, "Oh, the nameplate. No, it's not available." I could barely keep a straight face.:D

Well, a stupid boring story to you guys, but an amusing adventure in the end for me. I may feel just a little more JBL after today, I think.

So how many of us called today about 60176-16?If enough people called, she may have put it on the "DAMN, we gotta make MORE of these!" list. :p

[Not likely, alas...]

[Ian Mackenzie]

That story reminds me of the Tent sale.

I placed the order on line and rang several times to sort out some shipping details as they would not ship directly overseas but we got around that..the lady had a giggle over my native language..it was quite funny.

Curious if anyone considered getting a small silk screen shop to crank out some of the more popular/universal items? In my area there are bazzillions of art students that do silk screening and I bet for a few bucks would be happy to make some badges. At least on my 4343's (RIP...sob) the nameplates were pretty simple with only one PMS color IIRC. Just a thought...

(by the same token one could reproduce a lot of single color items on aluminum with a 3M product I used to use ages ago... forget the name but it was a UV sensitized aluminum or vinyl that you'd wash off the colored emulsion and have a really nice nameplate etc when finished...)

[takenodisk]

Hi guys ,i was coming to paul's idea,anyone in here having the screen printing skill,i guess that in gathering each others demand costs could be cut by twice,anyone can help?

[kodomo]

I'd like to show you my new products. They are replicas of 4350 grill emblems, foilcals and the 4345 foilcals. They are printed aluminum sheets same as the originals. The foilcals have double-stick tape on the back side. The price is $80 + $15 shipping per each pair. Please send me PM if you're interested.

Kenji,

Those are beautiful!! Do you plan on making additional foilcals of either pro monitors like the 4333A and consumer units like the L300 / Summit? Those I could use.

Regards,

Bart

[takenodisk]

Already ordered mines:p ,thanks Kenji

[kodomo]

Thank you, Bart. I can make any type of foilcals and emblems if I get scanned originals. But I need initial cost for them. Please ask detail via PM. Thanks.

Hi Kodomo,

I am also interested in front grille logos and foilcals for my 4343A :) .

I can make scans of the originals but they are not in very good shape :( . If you are interested in those scans, email me.

I just received my 4345 grille nameplates and foilcals (actually not foil but thin aluminum as grille nameplates with 2side tape on back and removeable plastic protection on front) from Kodomo. Excellent craftsmanship, at least as good as JBL originals. Worth the price Kenji! Thx to John W for the foilcal jpg's! I have 6 pair of each.
