    Thank you

    Did you do this work yourself or have someone help you or do it for you?

    I looked at your caps and as I suspected they are of the snap in type

    What I am trying to determine is how well they fit the PC board? Did you have to do any cutting or enlarging of the holes, add lead wires or in other words, specifically just exactly how well did they fit? I don't care about appearance as much as fit.

    Did the "7300" use "snap ins"? I do see on the spec sheet that there is a "pin" option available by adding the suffix "A" to the end of the part #

    Where you still able to re-use the factory straps?

    Thanks for answering all my questions

    Was in route to get the L19's, but when I arrived they had already been sold. Man was I pissed.... I think I will just hold off and get something better then the L1's. Just not sure what I am looking for..... Its a bad addiction, always searching for the BEST, but there is no such thing as the BEST.....

    Joe, the caps were snap in but I had 3rd party install those for me and not really sure what was done to make them fit. I do know that the factory holders were reused and no special fab done to them. Wish I could tell you more.

    Sorry to hear the speakers got sold out from under you. However, L19's were and are plentiful, and not so big that they couldn't be shipped either. But, this does free you up to keep looking if you want to. There's a lot of good "bookshelf" sized speakers out there, and vintage JBL has a number of them. IF you go larger, you'll have even more to look at.

    I had that happen on a pair of L7's .... took a lot of will power not to kick the guy in the shins.

    While I was on the way, someone else came along. Seller didn't mention "first come , first served" , but that's what he did.

    On my Ohm F's ,,,I sent an email and went back to work. Seller called me ..
    "Could you come over now ? After your email, things went crazy, but you were first" .... that's the attitude that I've adopted for my sales.

    I have to ask: how did that happen?
    Somebody beat you with money or just show up first?
    Not trying to rub salt here, but a week is too long to vacillate over anything worth owning on craigslist when dealing with 99.9% of the typical sellers there, especially if the price is close to being right
    Had you reached terms with the guy, i.e. he knew you were coming? If so, then he's a right good prick and I'm sorry you missed the mark
    I know how it goes
    The ones I really hate is when you see the ad appear and email them a minute and a half after they post to ask a specific pertinent question (not the "is it still available" BS we all know and love) or to tell them you absolutely want it and 2 days later they finally reply to tell you "sorry, I just sold it TONIGHT"
    Just happened to me in the past 24 hours over an amplifier
    There used to be a little bit of craigslist etiquette honoring the order of the email queue, but as of late that appears to be a thing of the past
    Was this a craigslist deal?
