New Revelation! History Update on the Orange Frame Fender/JBL D120F!

- As more of these speakers come through the shop for service, new info surfaces on the history. Looks like the orange frame Fender/JBL D120F(K120) was made beyond 1976 as I originally thought. This one was born May 1978. There are no indications...markings... on the cone that it was ever reconed at the factory.

Your best component on that table is that lead diving weight! 🙂
Beautiful job, great speaker! I am blessed to own two orangies with original voice coils and cones. Or is it three? I forget!
I would like to get a vintage JBL 15”. are you saying that a vintage JBL D130F is the same component design as a K130?
The frame and motor are functionally identical. The K130 was revised with a double half roll cloth surround for increased compliance and lower cone distortion, and a new higher power voice coil with formers made from either high temperature flame resistant Nomex or Kapton polyimide. The voice coil wire and dimensions stayed the same.
GREAT info about the JBL D120F’s! Acquired a mint-ISH D120F, original cone, out of the Midwest; pretty pristine. Have the option of putting it into a closed back 1-12” cab; OR an open back, Deluxe Reverb RI.
Any thoughts or opinions about either?
I’m THINKING the Deluxe, but I ALSO want to do IR captures of both cabs with 2 - 3 different mics. Maybe I’m being overly ambitious…?
Let your ears decide. Some use in closed back cabinets and others in open back combos. The Deluxe Reverb with act like an 80 watt amp with the JBL due to the potentially 6dB increase in sensitivity over a stock OEM speaker.
They ARE a bit louder than the other speakers out there, aren't they? I have always thought that, and now I know for sure. I have always believed that JBL used the aluminum dust cover to create more high frequencies in a closed-back cabinet. I often wondered if a non-aluminum dust cap would be preferable in an open-backed cabinet, such as a Deluxe Reverb in order to tone down those highs ...@@edgewound
