Happy 4
th of July everybody!
I have a question about a pair of non-ported two-way monitor speakers.
I have recently bought a pair of beautiful Model V-8 speakers S/N 4995 and 4964 (this is what the labels on their backs say) with damaged high-frequency transducers I would like to restore.
The size is 21x11x10 (HxWxD, in), 1” Soft dome tweeters, 8” woofers.
There were no grills and nothing that said "JBL" but I hope that’s what they are (I heard people have seen unlabeled JBL units and am wondering if that story is true…). The cabinets are quite heavy and finished with Dark Walnut veneer. The sound is very smooth, velvety, and captivating even without HF!
To my disappointment, I was unable to find any information about this model in any of JBL catalogues. The original owner, an elderly gentleman, told me he bought them in the year of 1973 (approximately) brand new and they are JBL.
Both
tweeters I need replaced have identical printed markings: “
7402-1920” with six digits right underneath – “
575431”. I was unable to find any other markings on the tweeters.
Could you please help me to identify their model? I have been craving for a long time to have the beautiful JBL sound in my listening room!
Any help on this would be hugely appreciated!
