In another thread I mentioned a friend of mine was able to purchase some JBL components from a former JBL employee. I got the rest of the story today. The former JBL employee, who later worked for Atari, passed away. His significant other is selling some of his collection. Today he picked up a tower speaker that appears to me like an Aquarius of some ilk. About 3' tall and 1' square. One single 8" driver firing upward into a metal inverted horn type structure. There was a broken piece of glass with a clover shaped opening that sat on the top of the horn. A black sock covered the opening on all four sides. A pair of the push-in wire connectors are on the bottom of the cabinet. Here are some pictures. He's hoping someone here can identify this speaker.
I purchased his Reel to Reel deck, an Akai GX-630D-SS and several home recorded tapes. One of the 10" tapes is labeled "15ips-Four Channel-Dolby Demo Tape from May '73 Sales Meeting." That may be a very interesting tape.
