Congrats Oldskool, nice to see there going to a good home....  Are these to be added to your ASS concert series rig?
 
Yes sir they will. It is hard enough finding the bass and the lower mid cabs but finding the ASS fibre glass horns and the acoustic lens is just a stupid idea. So in my case I have turned to the JBL "originals" and now have the 2395 lenses, 2350 two inch radials and now two pairs of the 2345 one inch radials. Job done! 
Am also running a different project to Ian (JBL Man) as he is passionate about keeping vintage gear authentic and with drivers of the correct period where possible. In this case the whole lot will be fitted with modern drivers, either B&C or BMS depending on the cab and we should be able to blow anybody away with itLOL.
Have been very lucky to have had a lot of help and advice from Ian, Tony ASS and several others on here, all cabs have been/will be refurbished by Tony himself. That's the first pair of stacks complete, now need to get cracking on the elements missing from the second pair. If only I could find another pair of the 212 lower mid cabs it would make my year!
Wow, I'm sure they look fantastic now Tony has refurbished them.  I love the look of the concert series system.  Maybe one day I'll get to own one or a martin modular rig.  I do think the JBL lenses have a great visual impact, there a cracking looking piece of kit.  Yes, there's always be pro's/con's keeping some vintage/classic completely original.  But as you say, I bet these cabs really do go some with some nice quality modern drivers.
 
If you ever bring the system out for a run in our local county, would love to come along and have a listen.  I'd even help you carry them in LOL
 
And if I ever see a pair of 212's for sale, I'm sure we will all let you know.

Thank you sir. Will hang on to those others in case you decide you want them. Yes there was one other party inolved it seems but I valued them just highly enough. Was hoping to pay £100 as it happens so no complaints here.

I just got my car MOT/service bill of £600 anyway, so fairly pleased I didn't wax £100 on a future project just before LOL

If you could pm me some links with pics of what else you have that would be great! If they look useful I'll send you some beer tokens for them. If nothing else they will be a fun experiment.
