Under all that old paint they are pukka JBL 2345 cast alluminium radials. 1inch entry,3-bolt fixing.
Be seeing you.

Ian.
I know, the waiting is killing me. I only need one more pair to complete the HF arrays for the big system.

Lead shot wouldn't do the aluminium any harm.

There is a thick bitumen type coating on the external surfaces of these under the paint,to deaden the ring,so i would be wary of using any harsh blasting technique.

Could be very useful, one of my other 2345s has a corner snapped off and they will all need stripping and respraying in a few weeks.

I was only thinking doing the inside of the horn as an easy and neat way of getting rid of the paint Fortunately, with the nozzle, the can put the shot where ever you want it, as it's very directional.

I bet with a bit of time and effort you could make quite a striking HiFi install with those if you re-housed them creatively
