Hi Folks,
I'm currently doing a bit of traveling in China and yesterday spent some downtime checking out the local audio scene in Shenzhen. I walked into one shop looking for a set of Shuguang tubes and behold...there in the corner I spied in the corner a set of JBLs like mine (C38 cabinets;D130;075). The Cabinets were in excelent condition (spotless oiled walnut), but the D130s had a heinous re-cone job at some point in their lives.
The price tag... 28,000 RMB ! !
Thats about $3733.00 for you and me sans the grill and the aluminum legs!! Apparently there is quite a market for JBL here and the majority of vintage equipment is from neighboring Hong Kong.
