on fire, and I'll catch a pair of castoff II's, ... kind of like this Metregon.![]()

O.K. everyone. Preliminary findings are model LX5 serial# 6013. I do not see this model in the JBL literature.
The LX5 is a 2-way, 500hz crossover. Question: Is your N7000 crossover mounted inside the cabinet or on the back cover near the LX5? You definitely have one of the valuable 3-way systems. The woofer is either a 150-4C or an LE15A. The early LE15A's were painted blue. 150-4C's were all painted gray. Too bad the cabinet is beat up. A mint 3-way Metregon is easily worth $5k.

The n7000's are mounted in on the back cover above and to the right of the LX5's, it has blue LE15A's
You have the S82 system in your Metregon. Date of manufacture is 1964, give or take a year. The components in mint condition are worth at least $4k. A Metregon loaded with an S82 component package cost over $1700 in 1964.... about what a nice car would set you back.
