    I don't think the old links work either, so that stuff may really be gone for good. It staggers my mind to think of the mountains of info lost.

    I tried a few popular website crawlers to use to download everything while it was still up, but none of them could get the drop-down lists and links.

    Links still exist. I can access all tech links listed on LH and I just found an old link to the L7 supplement here that still works on Harman.com: http://manuals.harman.com/JBL/HOM/Ow...Supplement.pdf

    So they still exist, which is why I asked if anyone can put in a word to JBL to give us access again.

    FWIW, some limited info on older models is turning up in the support pages. The old product pages are gone, but some manuals are now available.

    That's quite limited!

    Nothing works. Not the links in the systems listed, and not the search for systems not listed. Sucks.

    I found manuals and some brochures. 250ti, etc. Looks like they are manually creating a whole new database. How dumb is that? Lost are all the old product images and descriptions unless they plan to keep adding them over time. The Flash crap they have running the site is piss poor.

    But they're probably still there, just as the tech-sheet links from this site to JBL.com are still there as are saved links like the L7 manual supplement.
