Although I haven't experienced the 4406, I agree with you re: the L20's.
In fact it was the L20t that turned me on to the JBL home sound in the first place.
My buddy bought a pair new. I couldn't...
After finding a pair of 035Tia's on eBay and losing the bid (sold for $145 :eek:) I decided to see if I could find a pair of complete L20T3's locally. Cosmetic condition not important.
Lo and...
Thanks for the replies. I pulled the tweeters and attached speaker output to the tweeter leads via alligator clips, and applied moderate volume.
No response.
I attached an ohm meter to the neg &...
I just picked up a pair of L20t3's that are in mint cosmetic condition. However when hooking them up to a reliable source, the tweeter in both speakers doesn't work.
Is there a fuse or reset, or is...
Another pair of L112 pop up on CL last night...this time for $50.

Am I totally wrong or is this a really low price for these speakers if...
Nope. Didn't get them. Otherwise my little smilie would have been :D or :bouncy:
..and inch or so off on his measurement. Not the only thing he was off on.
Deal of the Century :banghead::

Good eye. The screws on these drivers are at 12; 3; 6; and 9 o'clock. Not the original pattern.
Plus w/the originals, the casting shows through in a silver alum. band around the surrounds.
The...
These look to be nice. If I didn't already have a nice pair of L56, I'd snag these in a second. I really like my L56's and at $75 this appears to be a good deal:...
eBay listing
If the seller's open to local pickup & will waive the shipping $ and the bidding doesn't get too high, these may have potential. They look pretty original to me.
$75 shipping would...
Lucky guy.
I just picked up an immaculate pair of L19's and a vintage Pioneer SX-1000td for $75.:D I haven't tried to power either up, however.
The L19's are mint, aside from deteriorated surrounds (new foams...

First you have to veneer it...then you can polish it.
As Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once said, "One man's turd, is another man's treasure."
I'm answering my question:
Yes.
Since I'd cut my teeth on refoaming the woofers on my L56 with very satisfactory results, I figured what the hell and refoamed these as well (thanks again Rick...
I just picked up a pair of R133 for cheap. Big honking speakers. I figured that JBL's from the mid 80's that originally sold for $650 couldn't be horrible. After taking a look at their components and...
So, here’s how it went:
After getting this pair of L56’s I realized that the original surrounds were brittle and one had developed a hairline crack in it (which quickly spread 1/2way around the...
First and foremost, huge thanks to Scott Koeller (SMKSoundPro) for helping me through my first attempt at this.
Scott – thanks for your immediate replies to my PMs, your clear answers to my...
I agree.
I see that you're in VA (as well as BMWCCA) who's selling their nice vintage JBL's on DC CL?
:blink: Brutal.
Since I posted this thread, I've listened to several different types of speakers - mostly JBL. I now realize that had I been able to snag the L20t's that BMWCCA mentions (lucky dog), I wouldn't have...
A little off topic, but that is a really cool looking piece of Deco. Original mirrors in good shape are rare. It appears that Emma scored.
Wow. I feel like a guppy in a shark tank:blink:
If my having to be at home to watch my kids makes me incapable of being able to 'pull the trigger', so be it.
The way I look at it is I couldn't get...
I saw those on CL right when they were listed, and promptly gave the guy a call. Very nice guy who knows much more about JBL's than I do. He says that they're in great shape & I believe him.
I was...
I have a pair of very average speakers in my family room adjacent to the kitchen, where we do all of our music listening. They're wall mounted in the upper corners of the room - ceiling height, due...
