Restoration & Testing
Before restoration, we carefully inspected both speakers for their overall mechanical, electrical, acoustic, and cosmetic condition.
The woofers, midrange drivers, tweeters, crossover networks, level controls, input connections, internal wiring, and cabinet structures were individually evaluated.
During service, electrical connections and crossover components were inspected and serviced where required.
The front-mounted midrange and high-frequency level controls were cleaned and exercised to help restore smooth and consistent adjustment.
Internal wiring, connections, and solder joints were inspected, with any areas requiring attention serviced before final testing.
After service, both speakers were tested for:
- Proper woofer operation
- Proper midrange operation
- Proper tweeter operation
- Left/right channel consistency
- Level-control operation
- Clean playback
- Absence of abnormal mechanical noise
- Absence of obvious audible distortion
Our restoration philosophy is to preserve original JBL engineering whenever practical while correcting age-related issues that may affect performance or long-term reliability.
