I have two sets ;-) They are either found for cheap (if looking hard) or for way too much money (eBay)

They should come with the square cardboard gaskets for the horn side flange.

The ones I had many years ago made these horns possible.

I have one set on some JBL 2397 clones that I made and another on some JBL 2350




The horns/throat that are "hen teeth" rare would be the ones to fit 2395 lenses. I often see them go for $600.00 to $1k per pair. Ouch

The lenses I made for our Concert System all those years had an elliptical horn. I cast the mould from the original JBL, and made them out of Fiberglass.

Did they have the threaded holes all around their perimeter? If you had some fiberglass repros available, let me know ;-)

There are still a lot around, but mainly behind the Lenses. I did do a load for Tasco once, which they used in some of there own configured cabs. My Lenses bolted through the horn, so no threads on the outside rim. The JBL lenses used to rattle so I fixed mine a different way.
