Might be the last new in box B-460?

[wsilva]

Bought myself a sweet new addition for the system, I found a person selling a brand new in the box B-460 sub, as shipped from Northridge.

Everything is perfect and I couldnt be happier, only thing I had to do was get the 2245 refoamed as it had been boxed up since 1986.

Everything had been stored in a climate controlled building and it really is just as nice as can be :)

Posting a couple of photos to show my new honey, and how everything was packed.

Well done, Walter.

[wsilva]

Thanks for the nice words everyone :)

It was a neat adventure to find and pick it up, it will be mated to my 250ti's which I also plan to keep for a long time.

[Mr. Widget]

Wow! That is amazing... congratulations and thanks for sharing!
That looks fantastic... it is a huge beast, but what a very fine example of beastiness!

When looking in the mirror, my comment looks a bit stupid:o: but in my defence.......... First NOS B460 iv'e ever seen, but who knows? In heaven there's got to be a warehouse full of them!!!:D

[57BELAIRE]

that's like finding a '67 427 vette up on blocks in an old garage with zero miles on the odometer....

well, almost. :D

great find!

[audiomagnate]

Amazing score. That is a timeless design.

[gferrell]

That is the Granddaddy of all SUBS.

[wsilva]

Couple more photos with the grill on.

Thanks again to everyone for all the nice comments !

[DavidF]

Very Cool. How long did you stand there dwelling on whether or not break the bindings and packing tape?

Nice compliment to the 250Tis for certain.

Oh, and be sure to send in your warranty/registration card...;)

[svollmer]

Absolutely beautiful; congratulations!!!

FIGHT THE URGE to throw out the packing material! It may be a pain to store it, BUT:

(1.) the value of our vintage stuff is dramatically increased if you have all the packing and it's in good condition when/if you ever want to sell it (I know, that day will NEVER come! :))

(2.) if you ever have to move it, a speaker like that deserves to be in its original packaging.

I had a pair of 240Ti's that I purchased new in 1987 and kept all the packaging, sales receipt, etc. I sold them (cheap) to my sister and she moved to Arizona and used the packaging to keep them pristine all the way there. She move back and then unfortunately threw out the packaging; I almost shrieked! Maybe I'm weird, but my attic is full of boxes from all of my more expensive stuff.

Oh, and don't forget to mail in the warranty card! :duck:

WOW!!!!!! What a great find...... I'm sure anyone on the forum would be thrilled to find a B460 new they would jump at it. You'll love it, I have one and they rock the house !!! :)

[AmericanPie]

Whoah! Absolutely stunning!

Every B460 I've seen for sale has been buggered up somehow or other. This is like going back in time 30 years to a JBL dealer showroom. Congrats on the find of a lifetime! :applaud:

[mech986]

Wow!
