    Sounds great! Especially considering it is 70+ years old. If I had to compare the sound to something, a Valencia probably has a similar sort of sound. Which makes sense, I guess, since the drivers...

    Hi. No, I'm still here and the Iconic is too. I'm powering it with a very nice reproduction field coil supply that Steve Schell was kind enough to sell me.

    The construction inside looks right. The cheesecloth and rock wool insulation (I think that's right) looks vintage and original and the bracing looks right. The bottom looks like it matches the...

    Pretty cool cabinet. The overall shape looks right for a 605 cabinet. Could you take a couple of photos of the back and of the construction of the interior of the cabinet? These construction would...

    If I understand your original post, it was the ebay seller's tech who looked at it. Considering how much that unit costs, it might be worth it to spend a few bucks to have your own guy verify that. ...

    Has your backup unit been recapped? If so, maybe that's the difference. Otherwise -- if you like the preamp, it might be worth finding a good local tech and have him or her take a look at the unit...

    It sounds like it is probably the tangerine phase plug. They come unglued and can be reglued with superglue. I followed the directions in the following link when I had to repair mine. ...

    Hi audiomagnate. I thought they sounded really good. It's tough to compare them without being able to a-b (they're still en route). I guess the first comparison that springs to mind is the Altec...

    Thanks for the advice. Yes, it is the "barn find" Iconic some one posted in an earlier thread. I'm going to go take a look and if (aside from the missing field coil supply) it works ok and the cone...

    Not that I'm an expert, but it doesn't look like it has been converted to permanent magnets. The 415 is a field coil speaker and the 801B is field coil too. As a sort of rule of thumb a permanent...

    There are probably folks who know about the 755A much better than I do. However, I'd noticed cones for sale on eBay. I've never used them, so I don't know the quality but here are some aftermarket...

    Great horn! It might be a Stephens horn too. They made one very similar to the Lansing horn in the 40s and early 50s. It had brackets like this too. It is a nice sounding horn.

    1948-ish JBL C-502 Cabinet

    I ran across an early JBL cabinet and thought I'd post a photo. It's a C-502, a small cabinet that takes a D130 full range. There's no place for a HF driver. The sticker says it was made in...
