These N2400s have the later Northridge nameplate, JBL must've restarted the numbering since the older oval nameplate serial numbers were above 49000?

Thanks Glen,

Here are the rest of the serial numbers of the S7R Olympus and my other slightly newer one with an S8R minus the 075 and N7000, originally purchased in Dec. of 1967 at Pecar Electronics in Detroit. I believe the one with the S7R to be a year or two older and has the LX5 at the bottom of the cabinet, the other has it close to the top but otherwise they're a very close match. When I make changes or additions I'll post those numbers as well.

LE15A - 7899
LX5 - 10455

I'm not sure about the cabinet, there's no JBL badging on it and crossover mounting looks rough. But the wiring follows factory standard red/black green/black color coding.

from auction description:
Here is a JBL 130A 15" inch 16 ohm Woofer Speaker in very good condition (SEE PHOTOS).
I bought this recently at an estate sale. The item has the usual wear from age and use and as you can see from the photos is presentable.
The crossover (not included) appears to have leaked wax so I carefully removed this from the board it was mounted on. There is left over wax residue on the cork ring and there are two dark spots on the cone where the wax melted but they are not tears. The item has two small holes and the center is indented as seen in the close-up photo, but otherwise the cone is in very good useable condition.

Here is a JBL VINTAGE MODEL N1200 SPEAKER CROSSOVER in very good condition (SEE PHOTOS).
I bought this at an estate sale recently. I have the horn and the woofer currently listed so please check my other auctions.
This had some wax on the outside of the unit. I removed the cover and there is indeed wax inside as seen in the interior photo.
I hooked up to the input and it does separate the high and low frequencies. When I turned the High frequency gain switch there is an audible difference in the sound.
I bought this at an estate sale and am selling as original found condition (as is).

C75 minuet systems in an ebay auction, only one cabinet has it's serial number

LE8T serial number 48651 and 48699
PR8 serial number 20071 and 20293
cabinet serial number 11651


in ebay auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ayphotohosting

from auction description:
This auction is for a pair of JBL C75 cabinets with JBL LE8T full range drivers and JBL PR8 passive radiators. As can be seen in the photos the cabinets are not in the best of shape. There are numerous scratches in the cabinets and a few nicks in the veneer. All in all the cabinets are within refinishing. Now heres the sad part. The coils are open on both of the LE8T drivers. Its so sad because the surrounds are intact and not too hard. And the cones are perfect. Someone must have let these speakers have it with too much power I would guess. The baskets of the LE8T are in good shape. There are a few very little chips in the paint on the backs of the LE8T, these can be seen in the pics also. Not that it matters anymore but both LE8T are rated at 8 ohms. The backs of the PR8 are in great shape with little to no noticeable marks. There surrounds are intact and not too hard. There cones are perfect too. There is some light corrosion of sorts on all four of the drivers in front. It can be seen in the photos, see the small amounts of brown deposit. All of the original gaskets are present on the backs of all four drivers. The serial numbers for the LE8T are 48699 and 48651. The serial numbers for the PR8 are 20293 and 20071. One speaker cabinet has its sticker present on the ID plastic badge, as can be seen in the photo. The other does not have its sticker. The present one shows, James B. Lansing Sound. INC. Los Angeles California, MFG in USA, Type C75 Enclosure Serial No 11651. I believe these were also referred to as the Minuet, any experts may correct me if wrong.

These are 8 ohm units. Pulled from a working pair of Lancer S99s. Very good condition, no rubbing, buzzes or strange noises. Clean low distortion Alnico sound. The Lansaloy surrounds are still pliable and not broken. They are a little stiff. #7352 has some glue drips visible; evidently this is the way it came from the factory. The cone is slightly yellowed. #7356 has an excellent, near-mint appearance. See pics for details. Overall pretty nice, some minor blemishes. I am also offering the crossovers and LE-20 tweeters in a separate auction if you would like the whole package.
