Hi Mark ,

all components are made by JBL and should be marked as such ,but putting a photo here will get you verification either way . If all is original we here at the forum can help you get them to factory spec and better . Paint finish for someone with your experience and network will be a walk in the park .

PICS PLEASE !

With the pics he sent you really can't see much other than a small boo, boo towards the bottom of one of them. You can't even tell if they have small surface scratches in them, but they are the L.E. 250s for sure, I compared the pics on this site with his. If all 8 drivers aren't JBL I should be able to get my money back thru ebay, 'cause I wouldn't want them at that price.

I'm going to try one more time and ask about the teak finish 250s, if no go I may just go for the L.E. 250s if it's not to late. What the heck it might be fun and educational to refinish the enclosures and have the drivers looked at and repaired if needed...

When I die, please bury me in my '10 Mustang Shelby drag car....next to the drag strip.

2-channel music and drag racing are my passions.

Update: Sorry I've been busy, under my Cobra taking out the 6-speed manual transmission and installing a automatic. On to the real news....I contacted the guy with the 250s and for some reason he won't talk about the teak finish 250s. and the L.E. 250s are gone. When I think about it I'm not sure I would have had the skill/talent to wire the crossovers/drivers. To refinish them they would have had to be gutted and taking things apart is no challenge but putting back together that's another story... I'm no electrical engineer. I know that the JBL approved repair in town charges 95 bucks an hour...ouch! Oh well, all water under the bridge now. I'll keep searching for a pair of teak 250s...

Why? Did you break your left leg? THis would be the equivalent of swapping some JBL speakers for a Bose...

My brother made quite a good living building high performance automatic transmissions for the local drag racing crowd.
He did well with his 64 Chevelle big block, but sadly, I was more interested in roadracing and F1, and never did go see him drag racing "in the day",\.
Bracket racing and drag racing is so much different than what I used to watch from SCCA and MARRS folk.
