Nice job on rescuing the L-26's! I'm glad they're sounding nice for you. Too bad about the foilcals, though jpg's of some of them have been reproduced here on the site (do a search). Not sure how you'd get a repro pair, though, I'm sure that has been discussed.
They are great speakers. They are very well suited to rock music. The l26's i own currently reside in my dorm room being driven by a nad 7155. i couldn;t be more pleased.

It's gotta beat listening to an Ipod, that's for sure!Originally Posted by vanman
I just picked up a pair of L36's today, with very nice cabs. I paid $50, and will spend another $25 to refoam.
JBL fever has hit me.
Me too...about 30 years ago! I have the L40s, which replaced the L26 in 1977.JBL fever has hit me.
I remember the L26 and L36 very well during my college days when I worked in an audio store that handled these. The L26 in particular was very popular. If my memory serves me correctly, they used to retail for $312/pair. In those days, JBL was a "fair trade" product, i.e. they were sold only through authorized retailers who were required to sell at the MSRP. (Unbelievable to think that places like Best Buy sell JBL products now)!
Anyway, your cabinets and surrounds look great. Good luck with your restoration. These were sweet speakers...enjoy!
