Was there someone doing 066 aftermarket repairs at one time? Glued a dome over a dented dome?
Odd looking.

That's a Ti dome.

Is that a JBL factory dome?
I know I love my JBL's but I am not as well versed with JBL as many here which is why this site is a great resource.
The photo below are the only 066s I have ever seen.
No the original was phenolic with a vacuum deposited aluminum coating. There was never a JBL option for a Ti diaphragm. That is an aftermarket or DIY replacement/modification.

You know I heard that as well where they were just using a spray can. Originally this is how they say it was done. Sputtering is done under vacuum we use it all the time at work. That's why I called it vacuum deposition.

As I recall Giskard recounting the 066 dome story, the aluminum was sputtered until the machine broke; then they resorted to spraying.
