I'm continually amazed by the reach of our website. When we started this four years ago, it was initially thrilling to get visitors from Europe and Japan. Over time the locales became more distant - former Soviet republics, African countries etc. Today I received a question from someone in Kathamandu, Nepal asking for help in repairing speakers. I thought I would post it here to let our forum members take a crack at helping him. I'll point out this thread to him in an email reply.
The approach he is looking at (winding his own coils) is problematic at best. Obviously getting JBL parts to Nepal is difficult and expensive and he is trying to be as resourceful as possible in getting vintage systems to work. Some pointers on where he could try to get recone kits and help in installing them would be useful. If someone wants to post the tech sheet from the L-45, that would also help. I am writing this from work so I don't have access to my tech sheets at the moment.

hi,
I am from the capital of Nepal Kathamandu. I am the great fan of JBL speakers. Iam pro technician of speakers in Kathmandu. specially JBL. I have visited your website many times. The information that you have given in it is too good but i didnt get any information about coils. I have many pairs of JBL speakers likewise L-26,L-40,L-45, L65 and many more. My two pairs are in good condition but two pairs are not.when i repair jbl high frequency radiator or recoil it, it doesn't sound like original.
IN L26 THE BOTH HIGH FREQUENCU RADIATOR HAS GONE OFF.SO HOW CAN I RECOIL IT IN ORDER TO SOUND LIKE ORIGINAL.CAN YOU TELL ABOUT THE PROCESS OF WINDING THE COIL?OR CAN YOU SEND ME THE DIAGRAM OF IT?
IN L45 THE BOTH HIGH FREQUENCY RADIATOR AND ONE MIDRANGE HAS GONE OFF.I MEAN ITS TOTALLY BURNT.SO IN THIS TWO HOW CAN I RECOIL IT?AND HOW CAN I RECOIL EDGEWOUND COPPER RIBBON COIL FOR MIDRANGE?CAN YOU SEND THE PICTURE OF CROSSOVER OF L45 CAUSE SOME PARTS ARE BURNT?HOPE YOU WILL REPLY ME SOON.
THANKING YOU
