I am restore vintage Fender Twin Reverb amps with D-120 speakers, and they all seem to be missing the square, gray/silver JBL logo that goes in the right corner. The guitar amps did not use the orange logos.

Anyone know where I might find a few?

The standard cast metal ones JBL used often appear on eBay.

I'm not sure if that's what went on Fender, tho.

A pic of what you're looking for would be helpful here....

from the the pic on the amp, the logo seems a bit larger, and more rectangular

but hell, I would pay $46 for a pair of the small sqaure ones

any sources besides ebay?

At that price, they're liable to come gushin' outta the forum woodwork here. :p

Hang on a day or two for members to respond....

The ones you are looking for are much larger and thicker than the Hi-Fi ones. Much rarer too, since they were only used for a couple of years by Fender. As I recall they are at least 2"x2"x1/4". I don't remember seeing any on ebay in a long time, if ever.

Larger (1-1/2" x 1-1/4") but cheezy plastic ones are available at OCS for $25 plus $5 shipping. :(

Didn't someone post within the past year about commissioning a batch of these to be made? Am I dreaming?

Yup, Mr. Widget, over in Q&D thread.

'Bout everybody here's got all they need, tho.

The ones to make'd be the Lansing Signature ones....

Look at JBL's miscellaneous parts list: http://www.jblproservice.com/pdf/Misc.%20Parts%20List/Misc.%20Parts%20List.pdf
Use the find function in the PDF viewer, (little binoculars - they have a second set for "find again"), and use the word - logo. Dozens turn up, though you'll have to trace back the numbers/systems to find the closest match.
