I came across a CL post only a couple hours old and less than a mile away. I let him know I could be there in ten minutes and he responded quickly so away I went. Here's the ad:
I have a pair of old JBLs that need a good home. One needs a new woofer cone. On some sources cause a distorted sound. They were re-coned about 20 years ago. They both have the front covers but some of the posts are broken. I prefer to give them away rather than toss them. Pick up only
Cabs need a bit of work but not a re-veneer. All original drivers work with woofer foam intact but needing replace. No VC rub while playing horizontal or vertical that I can tell. One of the tweeter dust cones is severely dented/crinkled I hope I can pull it out. Can the dust cover be replaced on the LE-25's? Scratchy attenuator pots but working. One grill cover is in pieces, not sure if I will repair or make a new one, and one badge missing. I wanted to give the guy a few bucks but he seemed real pleased that I was planning on restoring rather than part out. All in all a good day!!
I gotta shelve them for awhile for other projects but just wanted to share my good fortune. When I get to working on them I'll share some pics.
