L100 PEGS

[BOBBY59]

Hallo to all you,
excuse me for my bad language but I am italian so I have some difficult to speak.
I have a problem : I have re-built the grills of my JBL L100 Century speaker, new wood, new
external frames, new internal cloth, new external quadrex-foam with two logos in near mint
conditions but I need also 8 white pegs (I hope in good condition).
Can someone tell me where or how can I find these pegs ?
Thanks, Roby.

They are sold on eBay....

Thanks I've found,
but the cost is of 3U.S.Dollars each one !!!
And more I must to add the shipping cost.
Isn't it too much?
But in Europe doesn't exist a JBL spare parts store ?
Thanks, Roby.

Do you have pictures of your rebuild? If there are please post them!

Here there are my L100 with grills.
I know that the color isn't like the originals,
but the material is an open cells foam.
Now I'm looking for a colouring method like the original blue.

I rather like THAT blue, actually....

[And your stands, too, of course.... ]

I've used wooden dowels, sized to fit. Keep them a bit fat outside the baffle to fit tight into the grill holes. Paint 'em black.

I have been working with a fellow forum member who has been developing a very accurate reproduction method for the "Quadrex" grilles... he gave me original JBL samples for both the blue and the orange. For the blue you should paint the foam with DuPont Chromabase paint. The color you want is BS499 from their SpectraMaster color system. You should be able to purchase the paint in Italy... even if the formulation is slightly different for environmental reasons, the color matching system is certainly available there.

This paint will give a very similar look and feel to the JBL original... JBL poured on the paint with many coats and filled many of the pores... to be truly authentic you can as well, or if you prefer a little better acoustic performance a lighter spraying will still look very nice.

Thank you very much Mr. Widget
for your very precious informations. I will look for DuPont colour you say
or for the spray.
The most gratifyed thing is to see how many person read my advertisement : thank very much to all you.
... but the white pegs that I want, I suppose that I will find on E-bay only,
isn't it ?
Thanks again to all , bye Roby.
