The L100's are now finished. I made black grills for them so the
new owner would have a choice of grills.
I purchased new foams for the tweeters.
The fronts and backs have new black paint.
One of the shortcomings of the L100 line was the small spring-loaded binding posts.
Here I've installed new gold-plated binding posts that will accept larger wire and connectors.
One of the woofers has staining on it. I thought it best not to try and
clean this because I didn't want to damage the woofer cone.
Just another couple of photos of this most beautiful wood veneer, Quarter-Sawn Sapele.
The rest of the photos below are of the 4311's.
Speaker binding posts on one of the 4311's. Notice the serial number, which
was originally on the front as part of the plate at the bottom.
I did not repaint the backs of the speakers, perhaps I should have. The backs
are not perfect, they have some marks/scuffs.
The refinish of the walnut veneer really made them pop back to life.
I did repaint the fronts so they are very clean. Drivers are very clean too,
with the exception of one tweeter that has the center pushed in.
I'm sure replacement dust covers are available, and I've seen tweeters for sale on
ebay pretty regularly. I just decided it wasn't too noticeable and not really
worth getting a new tweeter for.
The L-pads for the mids and tweets have been cleaned and they work well.
I installed walnut veneer around these knobs to replace the worn out metal plate that
was originally there.
I cut out the JBL logo and installed it over the veneer.
I made new black grills.
Here they are with the cane grills.
End of photos.
Both of these sets have sold on ebay.
