L65 Terminals

[wallstdrifter]

Wallstdrifter,

I'd drop the entire crossover inside and run short wires from a new input
plate to the stock crossover. Completely reversible and you can put whatever
size terminals on the new input plate that happen to float your boat.

Make sure the original input terminals are free of corrosion, perhaps hit them
with something like Caig Labs DeoxIT and exercise them a bit.

The pushpins screw right into a buss connector, a shortwire to the pushpins would be a weak link.

Interesting how the construction of these X-overs has changed over time.

Given the quantity of individual models, the large numbers of each manufactured, and the length of time they were manufactured by JBL, there is no wonder construction details change. From improved methods of construction to lack of parts, the reasons for changes are endless. My L65's networks are different than the photos in this thread, and so are wallstdrifter's, apparently.

Don't forget there are different versions of L65's, "Jubals" and "L65A's" come to mind immediately. Port and driver locations were changed over the years, as well as the drivers themselves, as has been documented in threads on this forum many times. There are three different network schematics/product descriptions for L65s on the Consumer Tech Sheet page here:

So always be careful before saying, "L99's use 17 screws, not 16!" since both may be true.

One of many, e.g., the wires to each driver from the crossover.


If it's possible to upload a photo or two of your particular input
panel/crossover, it might help those still interested in providing
assistance... that you may find usable.

I'm trying to drag pictures from my desktop to this page but it won't let me. Someone please advise me how.[IMG]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/HP_Owner/Desktop/Dwight%20st%20rental%20242-copy.jpg[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/HP_Owner/Desktop/Dwight%20st%20rental%20242.jpg[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/HP_Owner/Desktop/Dwight%20st%20rental%20236.jpg[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/HP_Owner/Desktop/Dwight%20st%20rental%20236.jpg[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/HP_Owner/Desktop/Dwight%20st%20rental%20242.jpg[/IMG]

Well, you can't just drag them on your HP desktop, or even from a Mac. Go down below your "reply" screen and use the "attach files" feature, or link to a free photo-hosting site such as Photobucket.com.

To the right and left of the yellow component are the buss posts. The push pin screw anchors are at the two ends of the large yellow component bridging the buss bars. I guess a technician needs to remove the components blocking the post anchor screws, and re-install some high end binding posts, then put it all back together.


What else have the viewers of the mssg board done to deal with these outdated push pin posts? Does anyone find them acceptable as is?
