Hi folks. I’m in the market for a JBL E 140.
Some of the ones I’m seeing look pretty good with flaws like cone dents, etc. I looked up Spiral Reconing ( he was recommended here) . He had a stroke and won’t be doing anything for awhile. Can anyone recommend a service who does great work and has a Facebook account , or other online presence? Thank you , brbadg

I’ve read only positive reviews for Upland Loudspeaker in CA. I’ve got a k130 I’m looking to send there in the future. Expensive... but done right. There’s also a guy MattMan here used to recommend in Michigan. Can’t recall the info, much cheaper. But, Ken at Upland is supposed to be ‘Thee Guy’ for JBL recones.

Edit: Spiral Reconing was it! Ouch that’s horrible news about him.

I did a search for JBL recones at TGP. Ken at Upland appears to be the recommended guy for them there, too.

If you can find someone local that really studies JBL’s, you’ll save a ton on shipping. Other than that, Ken at Upland (as Jon said) in California is the expert.
