I found the JBL "Goop" guy !!!

[Harvey Gerst]

I just got back from AES in New York where I ran into the son of the man that made the original "edge goop" for JBL. After the man passed away, his two sons inherited all his notebooks with the original formulas. His other son is a chemist living in Garland and he's capable of duplicating the original formula.

He's gonna call me with his brother's name and address and I'll keep everybody informed.

Yup. Apparently, we (JBL) use to buy it 55 gallons at a time, but he had to supply it in 1 gallon containers.

You mean the goop that drips off my 123-As and 2213Hs after sitting a couple of years in Carribean climate ?

I have to rotate the woofers every 2 years or so so it doesn't drip

Okay, where do things stand these days with the goop sourcing? I need some to make a repair on my Altec 414A's. Help!

Yes me as well. Cloth surrounds on the 2213's pretty dry......
The goop on my woofers is red....
