Good evening. It is a pleasure to make my first post on here. I have used this site as a learning tool for some time and just joined today. I am ready to contribute however that I can in the future. But first, I have a question...
I bought a pair of JBL L200 woofers...they were the LE15B. The original owner said his lenses fell into the cones back in the seventies and around 79 he had them reconed because of the damage the lenses caused to them.
All of the 15B's I have seen have the gray cone. However, these cones are black and are labeled WHF 5516(I believe the last digit is a 6. The last digit on each cone is a little offset and hard to read)
These were supposed to have been reconed by JBL itself in '79. The next peculiarity is that each one measures a 10.3 and 10.8 resistance as if it were possibly reconed to 16 ohms.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? The frames and foil labels are exactly like every other LE15B I have ever seen. Just the cone and ohm reading have me wondering what is up. Thank you so much!
