Nothing? :(
Gotta a 40 year old pair of the above...Time to refoam! Any idea who does this work? Thanks!
Removed the 4 screws and tried to remove the woofer but it's in there pretty solid..I definitely want to avoid damaging the cabinet...Any tricks I need to know? Thanks!

Thanks all for the informative discussion...I'm going to wait until VSN lists his tweeter foam replacement service on Ebay and see costs and time...
Hey Brad,
I told you that the problem to refurbish the JBL 044Ti damper pad is the diaphragms and they are glued at the factory.
Because numerous of enthusiasts like you, I looked at the 044Ti...

Sad but true: the foam behind the dome of the 044ti tweeter has deteriorated which makes them overly bright, lacking detail or ‘harsh’
And you can’t do anything about it because unfortunately, the...
I can definitely say after 48 years of buying and selling audio equipment that tweeks:
A) Have no effect
B) Have some effect
C) Have a large effect
I certainly understand that upgrading the binding posts might very well NOT result in an audible improvement...I just like to upgrade whenever possible...Audiophile fuses,Upgraded power cords,and...
Beautiful! Thank you for the tutorial...My stock posts are very tight indeed.. thought changing the binding posts to a more audiophile version would be less complicated but so goes life..Remove the...
I'm realizing these are issues are beyond my personal involvement and and I doubt I can find someone qualified who makes house calls LOL! No way I want to lug these brutes to a shop or an individual...
Thank you Ian,a very informative thread to be sure...I now know this whole crossover thing is way above my pay grade ;)
No problems with the tweeters...Nice clean extended highs...I was thinking an updated audiophile crossover would further improve the quality of sound...
No loose binding posts yet...I want a pair of custom crossovers and WBT binding posts for under 1K :D
0000 steel wool did the job very nicely...
Good idea...I'm gonna do that now :)
Crossover upgrade was never in my sights to be honest...For me financially it would be a no-go but less than $500 or so to replace posts was within my budget...I have invested many thousands over the...
Yes they still function as designed but when compared to offerings by WBT or Cardas they fall way short in my opinion...I certainly cannot do any upgrades with my skill level and it's not as though I...
Yes it has the shorting bars...Original board is long gone...I'm certainly not comfortable or qualified to undertake this mission...The original posts are cheaply made and these classics deserve...
My rear panel looks nothing like that....I have one of the earliest L-250's sold and a few years after my purchase JBL made available a kit that I purchased to upgrade them up to the Ti series...
Nobody?
It's been 30 years...Any suggestions? looking at WBT and Cardas for the transplant...Do I need short or longs posts I guess is the 1st question..Any insights/suggestions/comments? All and any gladly...
Yes they are ones in the last post...35 yrs old now and not exactly state of the art :)
