Vintage? JBL Speaker ID......

[Jbmorrey]

Speakers frames are a little rough looking, but I was wondering if anyone can ID these JBL speakers. I only have a few pics, and no model is given. Please help me ID these if possible, and if you also know if they are worth picking up, that would help too.

Thanks so much for the quick response, going to do some research on them, what would one expect to pay for these and are they good?

Varies with the market, area, and demand/desire. I live in So Cal where something like this, but nice, can be had for $500/pr on a good day. Others may pay twice that for a pristine pair depending on... That pair..., not so much.

The 4612OK has vinyl oak covering a plywood type home styled cabinet. The speaker is pretty good for keyboards and guitar sound reinforcement and decent for home use above 120 hz. The twin 8 inch drivers work like the 4335 in that one functions as a woofer and the other as a midwoofer.

The pair pictures looks somewhat worn. I’ve picked up regular JBL 4612 Cabaret in professional black for $200-300/pr and successfully used them in sound reinforcement (weddings and music) with some good subwoofers and active crossovers with solid power driving them. You could do a lot worse for $250.
