Story on how I came to purchase them...........
There used to be a local buy,sell & trade paper called the Trading Times...this is back in the late 70's or so.....internet was just getting going so craig's list had not been invented yet........
Anyway only picked up a trading times maybe once a month or so......so one day I bought one and found an ad in the stereo section for a pair of JBL 4350's for sale...$1,200.00. Well that's a lot of money to me back then, anyway the paper sat on my kitchen table for a week or so....kept looking at it and finally decided to call on it figuring they had been sold already but to my surprise that had not been sold. The person trying to sell them was a plumber who had finished up a job at some rental hall, the owner for some reason could not pay him so he took the speakers and was suing for the rest and just needed the cash. We agreed on a price of $1,000.00. Just a matter of being at the right place at the right time with the cash. Cabinets are a little scratched up, Had to repair the cover frames, put new fabric on them, cabinets do need refinishing but they sound just fine........ One of thing I really like about them is they do not need to be loud to sound great.....but when one does turn them up it is like your right in the recording studio.....
Love it !!
