    I am thinking the Tweeter is model number 075 from the 70’s.

    I actually OWNED this tweeter as part of a 2-Way design.

    My housemate, when i was failing out of college, owed me money and took off, kind of leaving his JBL’s as my consolation prize, lol. They were a BIG part of what got me into this hobby. Roommate had done work for a doctor and got the JBL’s as part of that deal. They were really top of the line, like normal folks could not even afford them.

    The boxes were beat up but the drivers were the real deal. They could bore a hole through your brain before you heard any distortion, haha!!

      I agree, it looks like the top was stained to match the bottom but were added after the fact. Not that they wouldn’t sound great? but wouldn’t have came from the factor like that

    I would guess homebrew, I’ve had those components in a 2 way system, never seen a three way

    Ghetto 4560 DIY with JBL G-7xx series parts (the horn and bass driver, mediocre drivers) and a bullet tweeter. Doubt these sound any good.

    The bass driver COULD be an E-140-8 or similar, those are worth maybe $100, not terrible.
