Hello-
It's great to be a new member of this forum.
I am hoping that I can tap into your vast knowledge of JBL repairs to help me get one of my Cabaret Series 4691B up an running. I bought two of these from am fellow DJ and one of them works perfectly. The other does not. :(
I took the speaker out of the non-working one and switched it with the working one and it appears it is a problem with the speaker itself since it would not operate int he working cabinet. I did the same with the horn and it is also not functioning. I imagine it is the diapragm. So... I have one cabinet with operational horn and speaker and another without.
I am starting my 16 year old son in the DJ business with me this year and I bought these as a good set of durable speakers for him to take to his gigs. He is starting with birthdays parties and graduation parties for his friends and working his way into doing weddings like his old man. ;)
Can someone tell me where I can get a diaphragm for a JBL Cabaret 4691B? Do I need to contact JBL directly for this?
Also, the cone in the speaker looks in excellent condition so I am wondering what would be a common problem for the speaker to quit working.
Can you suggest someone in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area that would be looking to take on a project to help me out with this. I don't have the equipment to test the rest of the speaker components properly so I hope to be able to get these in to somebody with the knowledge, skill, and desire to help me out so I can get these awesome speakers thumping again.
I really appreciate any help & suggestions fron you experts!
