Uses for the JBL Registry?

[Steve Schell]

When I say the Registry information will be of increasing value, I don't mean to imply that we should charge for access. Perhaps utility would be a better word.

For those who cringe at the thought of all the JBL systems being parted out these days, consider that if original, intact systems become more valuable then fewer will be taken apart. The Registry may eventually become a well known resource for authenticating original systems, augmenting their worth. As with most things, economics dictate the future of these items as they change hands.

I see sellers on Ebay saying their speakers are registered with the audio heritage website. I have only found threads about a possible registry.

The Registry is non official and not posted in the forum in cause of data security. So it can also be with your speakers and drivers..

If you have any questions about drivers or speakers, years of fabrication or....pls send a PM to me.

Hi Jim,

it's not that easy at this time for the big monitors.
- L300 from 1975 to 1978 about 13,000 pcs (when there were no numbering jumps !!)
-4333A from 1973 to 1979 about 3,000 pcs
-4350 (incl. A) from 1973 to 1982 we count about 1,800 pcs
-4435 its impossible to say.
There are a lot of numbering jumps like from 10xxx to 250xxx in one year, and from 258xxx to 264xxx in one year, also from 282xxx to 429xxx. there are still white places in the list between some numbers.

let's look forward

i am just curious as to how many were built and what percentage of those may be still out there.........might shed some light on deciding to buy/not buy for some of the guys who are still waiting for their dream system to appear,mint,in factory boxes, for 200 bucks,free delivery..........etc etc.....one would think that big ticket items like these would be stored rather than tossed by most but who knows...........
