Old Time Rock & Roll
Met an interesting guy while doing so. He had to start cleaning things out and decided to keep the JBL's he's acquired and get rid of these. He's going to stick with his JBL L-200's and rebuilt Metrogon along with numerous smaller ones.
Anyway once I determined everything works I bit on them because out here they just don't come up that often. Especially at a decent price. The velcro strips are long gone along with the Infinity symbols but all drivers work and are original.
First to check was the fuses on the EMIT's. 3AMP! So I replaced them with the smallest I had on hand which is 1amp until I can track down some 3/4's. The pots work smoothly and easily with no scratchiness or dead spots.
The obvious thing is they used screwed in furniture trim to hold the grills on no matter where the holes ended up on the baffle or if it screwed up the acoustic seal. After pulling and resealing all the drivers, adding some fill and replacing missing screws, I hooked them up and they sound wonderful! Quite frankly I was surprised how much smoother and natural they sound compared to my RSb's. Especially the mids are so freaky good I can't stop listening!
Before I embark on some of the tweaks I've seen others do to brace the cabinets, replace the midrange caps and reseal the cabinets I think I'm just going to enjoy them for a while.
