Thanks for your replies, Glen and Steve.

I've been sidetracked all week with the flu--will take some measurements and photos later.
I wonder if anyone can help me identify and date a speaker I purchased recently.
It is an old, blonde, iconic-looking cabinet with a single D130 installed.
The D130 is a flat-back model (welded...
I too would go with Sears as a source for a non-pro table saw. Almost all saws are nice and precise when running new and with a new (sharp) blade.
The difference is that a professional model...
SF Craigslist link to a fellow selling ten (10) pairs of empty L100 boxes!
For us L100 lovers, the sight of that many empties could be upsetting. . .
so click at your own risk!

Congrats on your recent aquisition!:applaud:
Here is a photo (not mine) showing a Hartsfield with an 075 added to one side of the midrange horn. I don't know if this is a factory installation,...
I saw a gray A7 on a stage in the recent movie, "Ray" (Ray Charles). Probably one of two on each side of the stage. The soundtrack to this movie is excellent, by the way. Didn't notice which brand of...
Hello Fraula,
I don't know too much about those drivers, but I would like to ask what kind of camera you used for those great macro shots! I've never seen such good close-up detail!!!
Hi Butch: Don't neglect your other options: You say the driver was damaged during shipping--was there insurance? Or did the seller commit fraud? (Surely the driver didn't look like that in the ebay...
I gleaned this little gem from "the best of Craigslist." Maybe it was just the mood I was in at that moment, but I laughed so hard that I choked. I thought my fellow forumites might enjoy contrasting...
More, more!
Thanks for the heads up on the intense magnetic field. I too, have an LE85 with a lot of dust on the screen. When I attempt to clean it, I'll remember, now, to use a plastic brush, or a new flux...
Finally, an explaination for those rapidly deteriorating foam rings on jbl tweeters! Something to do with the half-life of Plutonium.
Ditto Scott F's advice, Josh, and welcome to the forum! You've really got something there in that pair of Altecs. My advice is to think of restoring them to what car buffs call "Box Stock."
Don't...
"Yes they are OEM JBLs. In the early days (through the 60s actually), JBL made speakers under various OEM arrangements. They made them for Ampex, DuKane, Heath, and probably others. These drivers are...
Thanks, Bo. I found a nice tone generator through the search words you listed.
And hey, my polk audio computer monitor speakers don't go down to 30hz like a 15" JBL woofer!
Thanks, RDM
Where can I get a 30 Hz test CD?
I forgot to add that the D123s are not in my hands yet. I noticed today that I did win the auction. The pair for $90, plus shipping. I hope I didn't get conned: you know how it is with ebay. . .

Thanks for your replies and the link.
Yes, I am rather old school. Maybe I can work that into a new user name.
No, I'm not the honist bob of Shattuck Ave. in Berkeley, but I did steal his name...
I plan to mount two D123 between actual wall studs for use as the rear channels in my home theater system. Does anyone have any insights, or experience, or links to JBL information about this?
Here is a story that you will find hard to believe:
This afternoon I was at the local dump unloading my truck, when I noticed the tractor behind me pushing two old speaker cabinets. They were...
