2245H recone or refoam?

[Alex Lancaster]

It was a 2245, but reconed to 2240; the 2242 coil will not fit a 2245 gap. and the coil former is longer.

oh yeah thats right i forgot what fits in what

I'm thinking I had this done a year ago, more like 2 and still haven't used it. I recall the original cone having the ribs going deeper, closer to the dustcap. This is the looks of the last time I had it done, JBL kit, 2003. We'll see if I can get up some pics.

[pelly3s]

charlie just for my own personal information where did you get that done, i see that you are in mass so i was just wondering. i work for a recone center in mass

Pelly, my good friend Lenny - who's always very busy!

I'm going to pull my driver to see the back this weekend. There was a number similar to the 2245 cone number, but slightly diff as I remember. I couldn't find any reference to it on a Google search. WEhoever did the job was a real HACK. Glue was slopped all over and the wires were dancing on the spider. The dust cap was all goobered with gobs of glue, so I bought a new one and redid that.

Thanks for all the info guys!!!

Time for the real deal recone for that 2245! No messin around with this hokey stuff for our JBL's.

[R Beardsley]

You got that right!!!

This was an Ebay deal..........and it's been annoying me since I figured out the cone wasn't correct.

You're right. Below are pics of a recone I actually sent in and had done at the factory in the '90's. The ribs do go down deeper, and the back is white.

I bought some new '98s and by then they were coloring the aquaplas on the back dark gray. I believe there are at least 3 different actual JBL 2245 styles. To my knowledge they all have the ribs like John's pics.

I believe you may have gotten the last of the Hawley cones. Oh for the return to those halcyon days!

My 2245 from the B460 with the white aquaplas has the ribs almost to the tinsel leads on the front of the cone and the other pair of 2245's with grey aquaplas are the same as well.

"Hawley" cones???

[R Beardsley]

Giskard - you know your stuff! Hawley was the company I worked for in the 60's......it was a great place to work, but sadly gone now...... I think it was about the only place making seamless cones at the time - at least that's what they told me at the time.
