The Newly accuired pair is the same I had many years ago, have not been used since I sold them
They are pretty good shape but the finish is still quite simple. But I guess the plywood is to rough and new paint probably is a better solution.
But sound is very good, probably the best sounding JBL PA I’ve used, very hifi like! Very simple to use since it’s 3-way passive, so a slight lowshelf is all needed to sound pretty good!
