Sounds like an AK'er on the 4430...well he's a Lansing member for sure. I read about audiobeer's magic touch on JBL cabinets, and wow!

Looks like a smoker's home with that yellow'ed 123a woofer in the L100's...

Wonder if that's an oil finish or sealed finish on the 4430's? Awfull shiney..

I'm SO GLAD I'm here and not there, or I'd probablly have one PO'd wife..

Looks like lacquered finish. Here's the read, if they are the same ones. Amazing transformation:

Thanks for that link slowpat... A hell of a great job, especially for how they looked..

BUT... after seeing that, and getting a good close look at the cabs, I don't think I'd be doing $1500 for them.. If they would have been done with grain matched plugs, and oiled instead of lacquered, then I could see considering it, but the holes are too noticeable, and as far as I thought, they all came in an oil finish..

I thought they were a well cared for pair, not a rebuild..

Obviously, I cannot say if they are the same pair...

I'd say no doubt they are..
