Like many of you, I have scoured the Lansing Heritage website and read with interest the past history of JBL.
However, today I stumbled on this site that discusses the Bill Thomas era. Perhaps I missed it but, I think this info does not exist on the LH site.
Correct me if I'm wrong...enjoy if I'm right.

Great read: http://test.audioheritage.org/Web_Pa.../TE_Frame.html
