    HARVEY GERST NEED YOUR EXPERTISE

    HI Harvey,I know you have mentioned something about the connection between JBL and Ampex before but I dont think there were any discussion of the 8" full range drivers that we always see on Ebay(see pictures)are they made by JBL or not?there always seems to be 2 different versions that are being listed as being made by JBL for Ampex.the second picture looks more like a d208 but the tinsle leads are spaced very far apart where they are mated to the cone,while a d208 are much closer.I dont recall any JBL loudspeakers that has the tinsle leads on opposite side of the cone.

    The bottom picture is closer to the D260's we supplied Ampex, but the basket doesn't look right. I remember that we did have the aluminum domes black anodized and I remember those two felt dots they requested on the domes. I think these are later Ampex speakers, but still not made by JBL. The Ampex 260's we supplied were pretty standard D208's, except for the black dome and the felt dots.
