I know much has been discussed regarding these and it appears JBL sourced them from more than a couple of vendors
I am putting the finishing touches on an old pair of L100s now and plan to keep things as original as possible (owner request) right down to the cardboard "Electro-Cap" tubes being re-stuffed
These are late model (A)s and use the "COSMOS" CAT 40 H 8ohm-50dB pot (all the late model L100s I have handled used Alps)
They sure feel like it and look like it, but I have to ask a question borne of ignorance; are all of the L-pads (and these) used by JBL during this period wirewounds?
I have no real problems with this set and plan on soaking them in De-Oxit while the balance of the work is done; as they work reasonably well I wanted to avoid opening them up
Any possibility that they are NOT wirewounds?
