JBL c38 console speakers?

[markmark]

Ran across a pair of huge JBL C38 speakers today. Look to be all original and in very good condition. Anyone put a value on these?
Thanks,
Mark

That's a tough call because it all depends on the driver load and legs etc. Any pictures?

If the price is low. RUN!!!

 

[markmark]

No pictures, Legs yes.

Lots. You won't believe what the aluminum legs alone are worth..
Don't be surprised if they're gone.

Metal legs"? I'd check prices on ebay for C38's & C36's etc.

I've not seen or heard of these speakers before today so I didn't know what to look for. They had legs but I didn't pay them any attention. Only reason I didn't buy them is they wouldn't fit in my car.

If their cheap get them! Rent a truck! Tell us how much.

They'll be gone in no time if you don't act fast.

$200 and I plan on going back tomorrow with a bigger car.

Go now! They could be worth over 2k. Or at least get the cash in his hand and close the deal. I'd drag them home on my back myself!

2K? Really? No way of going back tonight. I'll be there first thing in the morning.

Gotcha!!

 

[markmark]

I started another thread in the "Speakers" forum thinking I might get more opinions there.

c38-c36

These were my dream speakers way back in the 50-60's. I never got a set but settled for the L-100. My loss. Nothing wrong with an L-100 that a larger woofer and better tweeter and larger enclosure can't fix. I've had them for 40+ years and still do.

Would have preferred c36 or c38.

Opinion ?...Yep,got one of those . :yes:

The cabs aren't worth shipping.Basically what you have is two full range JBL...?
What D130's ??...no crossovers,no tweeters ???

Probably ...$500.00 on a good day....that's my opinion.

 

[Andyman]

Since they are full range and don't have crossovers and tweeters, and are missing aluminum legs, not as much as we had hoped going in. Still the cabs are nice and can be upgraded to a tweeter, so I'd guess $400-500 to the right JBL lover. The D130s are probably worth about $200-250+ alone.

Aluminum legs with a crossover and tweeter would have knocked you over a grand though...

Thanks Andyman and Stephen
