looks like they're neoprene, and the eBayer sells them.
For some reason, the surround on one of my 125a tore, and I believe it had been replaced only a few years ago or so. I believe the glue used for that restoration wasn't the recommended type, ...
Thanks ! that's a consideration, but I'm more inclined to believe it was my ineptness to center the coils correctly on these bigger woofers.
Edgewound- Do you work for a speaker repair place ?...
Hello !
I needed to replace the surrounds on my L300's a while back and I thought I'd try to do it myself, as I've refoamed smaller drivers and was successful in the past.
I got one of them done...
Nice score Viking ! I love the outfit !
Uh....... how much are those 1200's going for today ? And I didn't catch the cartridge you got with it.
I've got an old Sony PS-X7 that acts a...
Yo Viking- I bought another vintage receiver this summer too- a Marantz 2270 with wood cabinet. Gorgeous !
So I have 4 complete vintage systems from the late 70's now, and I love it. I'm...
I tell ya.... the first time I heard NS1000's was at the place I eventually bought my L300's- A place called Swallens in Columbus, Oh. 1978 When I walked in the main showroom, someone was...
Ain't that the truth !! We had a fairly large groups of friends who were all audio fanatics, and one of them always said back in '75 or '76- "I want to have a name dropper system- JBL and...
I already replied that I have a 2325 receiver with my L300's & L36's, but I have a pair of L100's upstairs that would love to be paired with a nice 2270 someday. They're currently hooked to some...
Seawolf, I take it you don't like classic rock, period ? My gawd man! what are you thinking ? Many of these bands you have mentioned in your posts, have been some of the most popular bands of...
aHa ! I felt 'eggzaktly' the same as you about Rush ! especially Geddy Lee's vocals !! Until ......
They were in concert in Columbus Sept.2007 for a local radio station birthday bash. I...
Very good description, Fangio !
Long live the amps of the classic era ! That's all I collect, currently, to match up with my L100's, L300's, L36's, L40's, etc. !
I have 3 different...
Well, I haven't determined what the rattling is yet in the 125a woofer that I had fixed the surround on.
I'm happy to report that the scary looking 127a woofer that had the semi-flimsy spider on...
Macaroonie - very interesting reading ! thanks for sharing that.
I was very careful to press down with one finger directly in the middle of the dustcap. I'm not so foolish to press it down off center. But still, it's not something I felt comfortable doing. ...
that's what's in the back of my mind ..... the one cone needs replaced. :(
I learned something today - even though I thought I had rebuilt the other 3 surrounds perfectly without using a test...
Ok, I went out on the 'net and downloaded a bunch of test tones (isn't the 'net great ?) . They were only 10 seconds long, but fortunately I have a .WAV editor and I extended them to 2 minute...
Yeah, I had heard about this guy on eBay that sells surrounds and includes the 30hz test tone. I had already bought these kits. Damned .... would have been nice to have one .... so you're saying...
I'm installing new surrounds on four 125a & 127a 10" woofers, and had no problem with all of them until this last one. It seems that the spider on this cone seems flimsier than the rest, even...
I'm entirely grateful to HJAMES for providing me with an original, real-deal, Owners Manual for these little beasts !
Hat's off to her !!!!!!!!! :applaud:
thank you much !!!!!!
Thanks for the tip MJC. I looked at it ..... it works, but it's not one of the best scans I've ever seen. But ........... It'll keep me going until I come up with a real one. :)
I had already ordered surrounds from another store that claimed they had JBL approved surrounds, but looneytunes sounds very familiar ... I think I might have bought my last set of surrounds from...
After badgering a friend of mine for several years, he finally broke down and sold me his L36's that I had actually helped him buy new, almost 30 years ago ! Yah ! :bouncy:
He even still had...
Yo Ron, every time I drive past your house I keep thinking about stopping in on ya and seeing what you're up to .... is that alright ?
Hope ya got a brewski laying around if I do :-)
...
Yeah, from my own experience- fix it ! It's a nice receiver !
I now have 3 vintage era receivers, and all of them are 125wpc beasts.
I've got a Marantz 2325, a Sansui 9090DB, and a...
