Help with L-100 grilles

[SUPERBEE]

I am at a complete loss here. Should I re-glue whats on there, get new ones, or?

Do a search on : sonofagun, L-100 grills, There are pictures of the grills he makes somwhere on this site and they are awesome:D.

Hi Superbee,
No offense, but I don't think your L100's will ever make it to a museum. Personally, I would not worry too much about making them original. Why not do what ever floats your boat. I have a hammered pair of 120Ti's that need a lot of work. They will never be like new. When I get around to fixing or replacing the grille frames, I may tie-die some fabric.

There is a lot of information about restoring L100's here: http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2794. On pages 4 & 5, there is some discussion on gluing the foam to the grille frames. If original looking grilles float your boat, Sonofagun is the name to remember.

SUPERBEE get Sonofagun to make you foam grills for your L100, you'll never regret it. Lightly sand the wood veneer, apply some JBL oil, light scratches/minor dings will disappear and your JBLs will look great and have a lot of character.
