it looks like they had legs at one time. yes bullet tweeters i beleive.i couldn't get a good pic of the front. as you can see they have been painted white and have doors on them(not original i know).
White-painted C38 Baron enclosures IF they're JBL boxes, which they appear to be. The load is the 030 system.
BMWCCA thanks. i found some that look original here http://cleveland.craigslist.org/ele/1017975946.html
now i need to hook mine up and see how they sound.
They should sound great if you don't care about deep bass. They'd be better in a bigger box but the C38 works fine. They don't need much power at all, but they respond well to 200wpc if you have it. Playing the 075 loud with distorted low-power amplification will fry an expensive component.
Where'd you find them?
they were on cl not too far from me. i have a yamaha m-60,adcom gtp-600 to check them out on.
You gonna strip 'em and flip 'em?
Or strip them (literally remove the white paint) and keep 'em?
Looks like you helped them "come out of the closet"!

From the 1950s or 1960s, not original outside (painted) but original otherwise. BIG squareish old JBL speakers. 17 x 20 x 24 outside dimensions. Best offer.
i'm not really sure yet what i'm gonna do with them. if i could afford some tube stuff i think these would be great for that but ain't happening anytime soon lol. unless somebody makes me a crazy offer i think i'll hold on to them for awhile. srip them down and see what's underneath the paint. they were painted to cover water marks so who knows whats under the paint.
ok stupid question=which terminal is positive on these?
lmao yup they are "out of the closet now".
On the back of the Crossover above IN see B=Black and R = Red
As long as you wire them both the same and nothing else is connected in the room at the same time ...
Black = - Negative
Red = + Positive

lol thanks. i figured it out AFTER i looked at the pick i posted. DUH r=red b=black. sometimes i go brain dead. thanks though. got them hooked up now and sound very good to me. atleast everything works.
Pretty obvious they were painted to fit a decor. The original finish was likely a lacquer/shellac, not bare oiled wood like newer stuff. If they covered it in latex paint you might get lucky and just peel it off.
I was wondering who grabbed them- nice work. I guess I'll see/hear them tomorrow, huh?
je
lol yes you will.
