JBL D130F speaker cone question

[BluesForDan]

Hello all, first time poster here, but long time forum user all over the internet.

I've got a grey frame JBL D130F that I repatriated from Germany. The serial number is 9845 and the speaker cone has the number 58057 in white ink.

I would like to make sure this is an original cone, and if possible, what year, never mind what model amp, it is from.

I've finally determined from reading here that evven though the label says '8ohm/16ohm' that it is an 8 ohm speaker.

I tried searching for a speaker code key, but somebody said it was lost in the earthquake?

thanks in advance,

Dan the man

Just an overall front, an overall rear, and a close-up of any numbers (frame and cone)...

Actually, we'd prefer if you uploaded them directly here, so they will remain visible "en perpetuity."

Use "Manage Attachments" from the post editing page to do it.

I'll try uploading the pics, I hope they are not too big.

Where would I find the frame number(s)?

*oops* too big. I'm not a imaging guru by any stretch of the imagination. G5 mac, safari, no photoshop. Any suggestions?

My guess is that it's been reconed, from the glue around the dustcap and the slightly crooked gasket. Can't say for sure, but that's my hunch...

That has definitely been reconed with a JBL recone kit....most likely an E-130 kit.

thank you very much for the help, although it was not anticipated that this wasn't what I thought it was. Or I should say, what I was lead to believe it to be. It was sold to me to be an original cone JBL D130F. It could be the guy selling it thought it was original, he took it out of an old fender amp.

So now its a recone, with an E130 kit. What is it worth now? I'm almost afraid to ask, since I'm likely taking a bath on it as it is. I've got somebody interested, and I want to tell him straight up what it is.

...the slightly crooked gasket....

is that (gasket) the cork part?
