    The kit is here so wish me luck



    Funny thing, I took the first woofer out and looked inside the cabinet and guess what, I found the JBL badge, including the washer and clip, from the other speaker inside! Funny!

    Anyway, I will take some pics and post them but I have cleaned off the work bench, brought out the lazy susan and will start the process tonight!

    Thanks to all!

    For the JBL Blue cloth, send Zilch a PM. He might still have some left. Sweet talk him about his Quick and Dirties and he might sell you some.

    PM sent. I hope these turn out. The surrounds of the first one are in progress and when I gently push in on the cone, there is no scraping at all

    High Frequency Question

    Upon REAL close view of this driver under bright light, there is a slight tarnish on the diaphram. Can an attempt at cleaning be performed? It works so should I leave well enough alone? I did find replacement diaphrams at:

    JBL Diaphragm D8R034
    A bit pricey I think for a repair for speakers that cose me $11.00 each

    L46

    I have a pair of those and earlyer I was very happy with them.. But now both of the woofers donīt seem to be working. I got them measured and they are totally dead. They seem to be in good condition, not torned or anything. If I have to replace the woofers do you guys know where one can get a pair of them or how to have them fixed...I actually donīt want to throw them away as they are excellent mixer monitors,neutral and precise..

    Sorry, I don't have any extra woofers. It's mighty rare for two woofers to die at the same time, so are you certain that they're dead?

    Actually I was thinking about to putting my own L46's on eBay this weekend, but can't find shipping box(s) suitable for the job just yet.

    They are presentable, sound great and all that, but the cabinets have their share of lumps and bumps. If you have nice cabinets that you want to save, there might be the makings of a deal here.

    Lightbearer,

    I was going to put my L46's up for $75 plus shipping boxes and shipping.

    If you want them, you can have them for that, and I'll eat the cost for the boxes, or if you want just the woofers and tweeters or whatever, I'll even throw in the shipping.

    There are a couple of ways to go, so it's your choice.

    If you'd like to continue the conversation, perhaps it'd be better to do so via PM's or direct e-mail, so feel free to do that.

    BTW, there are also a couple of pairs of 46's on eBay from the east coast that look good. I'm on the west coast, so I'd recommend going for whichever is closer to minimize shipping expenses and works out to be the best deal.

    Whatever you decide, good luck with the project!!

    Jay

    Okay so I have been running these in my family room for a while and like them a lot. I found another pair of 117H's (1983 vintage) that work but need new surrounds, I just got them delivered from Canada today!

    Both work ( I learned to test them PRIOR to adding surrounds!) so now I put have to put a new surround on ( I have 1 more). This will leave me with 2 extra woofers (one 1982 and one the "correct" (for me anyway) 1983 era) and 1 tweeter.

    Unless I fry the crossovers, I am good to go for a while. Thanks to everyone who chimed in here and helped me realize my dream!
