I wonder if Henry Kaiser still lives at that address. Should I go knock on the door?

I'm thinking it was irresponsible to post that picture in the first place.

Lou, it's pretty ancient. The area code for Oakland was changed from 415 to 510 in 1991.

I deleted the original pics (they were straight from Maverick's music archive when the amp was for sale) but it didn't delete it from the quote. My bad and I'll be more aware of what I'm batch uploading

It would have been great to get more detailed photos of the components and wiring. You can't see too much of that sort of thing.
Yours Sincerely

Adding some info as I just realized the JBL's on SSS #004 2x12 were reconed with what appears to be a JBL E120 kit. I can tell this by the light coming through the cone's surround in this picture as well as the double suspension as part of the surround design.

I recently picked up a pair of JBL131's for my #004 clone and one of them had the E120 kit installed which made me double check the original speakers in this forum and visually appears to be a direct E120 kit match. The other speaker was an original JBL 21032 cone with paper surround and they sound totally different. The D131 with E120 cone is well balanced and the tone is truly inspirational. The 21032 cone sounded thin and lacked bottom end fullness.
