Speaker Re-Cone?

[flank]

hey tone bros

my dad has 5 or 6 ole JBL 12 inch speakers for the 60s down in the basement, and were not using them! :smack:

im thinking of fixing up my twin reverb a bit, its a real bastard amp, and id rather not get into the details as to how far from stock form it is right now

anyways, i need to get 1 or 2 of those JBL's re-coned, and im just wondering how much money a re-cone costs?

There is a lot of place's online that recone speakers. But if you can find
someone local your better off. my guess is the S & H on a JBL is close
to or even more than 1/2 price on the recone.

expect 130-180 bucks man. Those JBL's are pricey to recone. I had my 2 d130f 15 inchers (from a 65 showman cab) reconed for 150 each. The kit alone will cost you 100 dollars.

if you're willing to sell a few, you can make some serious bucks on ebay. They're d120f's right? You can expect to sell them for at least 250 on ebay.

Re: Speaker Re-Cone?

im selling my two D130F's and buying a new amp with the money.

When i first got them, the auction ended at 350 dollars for one working d130f and one torn cone d130f. They arrived broken and the seller refunded my money and let me keep both broken speakers.

Two recones later and i have 2 great d130f's for 300 dollars. If you really want to make some of that reconing cash back, recone two for yourself, then recone two more and sell them on ebay.
