What's interesting about the "t" circuit design is it became a model for chip amps today. The small amount of parts combine with lack of capacitors made it very easy to make on a chip.
Excellent restoration, quite amazing really. Don't worry about how much it costs because it's obvious your not going to sell it ever.
Why buy used when you can build your own?
A true work of love showing incredible attention to detail... absolutely awe inspiring!!! Thank you, thank you!!!
It is rare to see such outstanding work. That is likely the most impressive project I have seen on this forum to date.
Anyone interested in seeing something truly awe inspiring should look over the photos posted here:

Definitely really nice! I can do cabinet work and simple electronics, but a project like that rebuild takes something special!

Hi JBL friends,
Thanks all of you for your positive comments. Most of the credits have to go to Mr. Ruud Janssen who restorated the electronic part of this heavily abused JBL amplifier. Mr. Janssen is an expert and in the past he used to work for a worldwide known American loudspeaker, amplifier and turntable manufacturer. I did the rough work myself, i de-rusted the enclosure and i painted it at new. I also made the American walnut sidepanels. A good friend of mine who is a metallurgic expert made a new knurled pointerknob, which was a hell of a job. (one was missing) and he made a number of levers for the toggleswitches. (three were broken). Yes indeed (quoting Duaneage) i will never ever sell this dream again!
Wayback in 1967 i couldn't have dreamt i would ever possess this legendary masterpiece.
Kind regards,
Jan Slagman

I only forgot you obviously don't read Dutch.
With kind regards,

I have a pair of bicycles that I'll never part with. They are not particularly valuable to anybody else, but to me they are priceless. The value of something you worked so hard on is more than just money or specifications. It ceases to be an object.
It becomes family.
