    JBL info needed 125A?

    Newbie here, and I hope I am in the correct forum, and the pics are OK..

    I just picked up a pair of JBL's pretty cheap. They need surrounds, of course, but the cabinets are in surprisingly good shape. They have no badges on them anywhere, with the exception of one JBL grill badge. They have brown cloth on the grills.
    Thanks, Mike

    YES i think so JBL made very few bad speakers. They utilize 125A woofers LE25-2 tweeters. If you do a search on them here, you will find out almost anything you need to know. REGARDS JIM

    Jim,
    Sorry for the confusion. I knew they were good, and it appears they were well worth the $35 I paid. This is my first set of JBL's. I have 2 pair of Pioneer HPM 100's, (one pair I purchased new in the 70's. Passed on a set of JBL 100's back then), some Advents, AR's, and a pair of KLH 17's. I plan to refoam the JBL's, and use them with a Harmon Kardon A50K 25wpc tube amp, I use to listen to vinyl. I think the JBL's and the HK will go nice together.

    Thanks for the info,
    Mike

    Yup, they're nice little speakers. Pretty much the same configuration as my 4301BE's. If you pay a professional to do the work, you're looking at $40 to $65 per speaker to do new surrounds and dust caps.

    I have ordered surrounds, and dustcaps from www.wooferrepair.com. Yesterday I started working on the cabinets, and restained them a slightly darker shade of oak. It appears that some sort of badge has been removed next to the tweeter, and I assume finding replacements would be almost impossible. I may repaint the front of the cabinets in black. Not sure, as the grills, (in great shape, I might add), will cover them.
    Anyone know where I might find the missing decals, and 1 missing JBL logo for the grill?

    One last thing. Does the surround go on top or behind the cone?
    Thanks

    Definitely behind the cone on those.

    The badge that you mention is called a foilcal. JBL had the bad habit of hiding the crossover mounting screws behind it. They are usually destroyed by removing them, and good ones are hard to find.
