Hello. Just a real quick inquiry about JBL L300. Just wondering if anyone knew all of the original finish colors. Such as oil walnut and anything beyond that. The reason I'm asking is I am wondering if they were ever produced with a black finish from factory
Think the piano black finish and "black ash" finish came much later.Originally Posted by script56
Did you find a pair in black finish, or do you want a pair in a Black finish?

Found a black pair. Looks original like yamaha ns1000 look
Its not original, I can see the wood finish underneath on the edges,
so that kind of ruins the resale value, but - do you like that finish?
Rotated the photo to help out - it does LOOK like the upper edges are rounded ...
but most of the vintage fans would say that paint has to go!
Didn't Storm paint a pair black once?

I don't like it. Wonder if I could strip easily. Also need 136a woofer pair
Probably less work to re veneer the lot. Meaning just veneer over the top of whats there. Stripping back black will be a huge pain.
Perhaps, but the originals have solid walnut quarter rounds at the top on either side of the smoked glass.

Yes indeed , nonetheless as long as you run the grain as per the originals you can roll the veneer over the solid roundover without issue.

Widget the only reason the originals were done the way they were is because they used pre veneered stock for the body of the cabinet and the solids were used for the roundover. Factory machine tools allow this because they are accurate and hence the joint is scarcely noticeable. A little filler and its gone.
Post veneering is more time consuming ergo more costly and therefore not viable against a price point.
I don't consider either to be a better way but for the OP post veneering should give a better result.
I'll go along with that, but in my opinion the main reason to go with that look is to be authentic...

script - you may have to refoam what you have, recone with JBL 2235H kit or update to the current 2235H's. Haven't seen a useable original pair of 136A's or 2231A's for some time.
Found some 2231a reconed with 2235. So about the new veneer... It should be easiest to apply it over the old veneer after I remove black paint? Should peel n stick veneer hold over the bend in cabinets?
