JBL L100S's Info Please

[omi]

Hello...

New to the site... Am now the proud owner of 2 sets of JBL speakers... One pair of L80T's and today snagged a pair of JBL L100S's ($45.00 and needing refoaming, otherwise near mint!!!). My back may have something to say in the mornig after I man handled them out of my car and into the garage... Looking for data on the L100S's. The searial numbers are J196-104091 and J196-104099.

Thanks...

L100S - as I understand it, functionally the same as L100T, but vinyl covered cabinets instead of veneer? Nice score!

Yes...the L100S is a vinyl veneer version of the L100t. Sold primarily through military PX's. All specs are the same as L100t.

OMG, what a SCORE!

On that work bench.....Putting those tapes that close to the speaker is asking for trouble.

Good eye there with those tapes- I run into that sort of thing a lot in my house.

"No, please don't put my laptop there, that would be bad!"

Thanks for all the intel....

On the tapes...

I snagged a RtoR a bit back at a local TS in town and have come accross some boxes of tapes from time to time. Have not had a chance to set the RtoR up yet and was cleaning things up a bit, a few days ago... Have no idea if anything is on the tapes... Speaker is back in the cab now and need to do a sound test... My "garage" system is a small Technics... The "big" dog is in the house...

OH MY GOD! THE TAPES DISINTEGRATED!



P.S. Where are the grilles?

[omi]

Grills are on the work bench... The grills are in perfect shape. The fabric has a spot or 2 and some discoloration due to age. I will replace the fabric. Have a bit of black fabric left, but have not checked to it see if I have enough... A weekend small project. May look tonight and might have to order another yard...
