Hi Folks....im trying to track some info on a medium sized JBL hifi cabinet,circa 1972-73-74,it was a moulded plastic affair,with rounded curved corners,and had (if i can remember) a 12" and a tweeter....looked very modern for its day in a kind of blue plastic,i have trawled though all the old hifi brochures around that time,but cant find it...does anyone have the model number or any info?...it must have had a very short production run,as it vanished very quickly?
Thanks.

Ian.Probably because they didn't sound that good! :dont-know
Couldn't have been the looks! :rotfl:

If you're looking at a pair in London, might they be these?
