I think by the time my speakers are done to my liking I'll probably have 1500.00 (Can) in them which isn't too bad.

On a quest for high fidelity
Just ask yourself, what pair of speakers could you buy for $1500 would be better.. not many I'm thinking!
Nice grab. Whereabouts in Canuckland are you from?

You're going about it the right way Mike. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.
Now if someone can tell me where I can start looking for a set of JBL 4333 foilcals I'll be in good shape. The 4331's foilcals will be put away just in case I switch them back to two ways at some point of time in the future.
O.K. I have a line on a pair of 3133 crossovers with a pair of 2405's and the right L-Pads all for $700.00 Canadian. The serial#s on the c/overs are quite far apart as they are from two different sets of speakers but otherwise they are identical. That's the lowest price I could get him down to and it's within a reasonable driving distance from my location. Any opinions on that price as it seems to be in line with what the "going rate" seems to be on these parts. Apart from possibly having to replace a few caps (maybe not, we will see what my tech guy says) it seems that 700.00 (Can) is a reasonable amount to pay to upgrade these baby's from 4331's to 4333's. As mentioned above I just need to find some 4333 foilcals and I won't bother with grilles until I come across an old pair that I can repaint and recover with fresh cloth.
look up Ebay seller sign-shop, he makes custom and reproduction foilcals, I'm sure he has 4333 (or the A or B) versions in his artwork. Not cheap but if you want to buy two, you might be able to negotiate something with him. Tell him mech986 from Lansing Heritage and AK referred you (not promising any discount though).
as for the crossovers, that's a pretty hefty price tag. Technically, you could build your own from the schematic, even tackle a charge coupled version. The 3133 is the professional version of the L300 crossover (N333) or vice versa.

Yes, that price includes the pair of 2405's as well but I can still work on the price with guy and see if I can work him down to 600.00 anyway.
Just got my cabinets back today and they look really good for what I had done on them. I decided to not re-veneer and just get the original finish restored to the best possible conclusion. I'll send pics as soon as I get some help to get them out of my truck tomorrow. They aren't perfect and you can still see some of the work done on them but the stain is darker and it hides a lot of imperfections.
Here is a pic of the finished cabinets below

Love those butt cheek lens.......however the L300 is my weapon of choice. To be sure, what you have is VERY GOOD! Just love the styling of the L300 a bit more. Hope you have endless hours of musical enjoyment.
FWIW I just complete big project for my friend in Dallas. A big set of Barzilay cabinets with 416 Altec 15" inside each one, the side shelf each has an outboard 075 bullet twtr and sitting on top of each cab big RH horn lens with a couple 2440 mid drivers kicking them. Hair splitting gut puncher!
