    Frankenstein Valencias?

    Picked up a pair of massive vintage speakers and I have questions. Cabinet dimensions are 35"H x 24.5W x 19"D. Tweeters are Altec 806A with H 811 B horns. But the 15" woofers have no markings other than the "866" printed on the inside of the cone. Any ideas on the maker/model? They appear to be...

    Recently had some vintage speakers fall in my lap, a matching pair of 8ohm JBL D140F 15", I believe from the 60's? I'm a guitarist so I'm vaguely familiar, but the genres I play don't really serve these all that well and I'm scared to blow them up hahaha. Some people pointed me in this direction...

    Found an Old Unused Pair of JBL D140F 15" Speakers From The 60's, What Do?

    Sup friends, first post. Recently had some vintage speakers fall in my lap, a matching pair of 8ohm JBL D140F 15", I believe from the 60's, unused (or at least in immaculate condition). I'd comfortably call them NOS. I'm a guitarist so I'm vaguely familiar, but the genres I play don't really...

    JBL C49 Dale

    I have a pair of 1962 JBL C49 Dale's with the S5 System (LE10, LE30 and LX3). They are all original, however the lans-a-loy surrounds on the LE10's are pretty stiff and starting to crack. I've read about the brake fluid treatment but I think I would prefer a proper restoration. The majority of...

    JBL 2600 Loudspeakers

    Much like a Cadillac, these speakers lost 62% of their value as soon as I removed them from the showroom floor. And that was about 1991. I imagine their worth about $5 USD for the pair now.
