Hi Scott, It is kind of rare to find factory installed JBL 120F's in a twin but not unheard of. Supposedly, if they are original to that amp, they would have an ink stamp on them that matches the stamp on the tube chart inside the cabinet.or a stamp that would be a code like AA2565.25th week of 1965. Unfortunately these stamps are not always on the speakers and are sometimes on the cabinet, or on the inside or outside of the chassis.
Another clue on a later 60's speaker might be a tiny F punched into the foil label. In the end, only your ears matter. JBL's are universally considered 'hi-fi'.very clean, good bass but perhaps a bit harsh on the treble side.brittle maybe? I had a factory JBL equipped twin for a very short time. It was a late 68 production with gray framed JBL D120F's in it and the factory JBL badge on the grille cloth.
Absolutely mint. I sold it because, for me, it did not sound good. It was a kind of sterile amp. For some sounds it was a perfect, like stepping back through time to a Memphis recording studio.
Clean, clean clean. Good with a tele for country.
If you prefer your sound a bit dirtier, or perhaps, looser, the premium price of a JBL equipped black twin might not be worth it. Thank you – great response and much appreciated!
This Twin does not have a stamp on the tube chart that would match the pattern you listed. There are two stamps on the tube chart: Production “58” and “PG” stamped near the bottom right. Unfortunately I only have pics of the amp to go on for a few more days. The pics I have are, however, very high resolution and cover almost all of the speakers + cab in the back. The speakers and do NOT show an “F” imprinted on the foil label of the speakers.
Connect your android device and PC through a USB cable. Launch the Android MirrorOp Sender and it will search the windows receiver. Select it, start to use and you can control back from your PC. Open the Windows Receiver. Mirrorop sender registration key. Open the USB tethering (sharing) function on your android device,(You may need to refer to your phone guide to know how to turn on it.),and then the computer will automatically install a NDIS driver (if you haven't installed itbefore).
I have the serial numbers on the speakers and, from what I’ve been able to gather, they look to be from around the same time as the amp (1965). Unfortunately the pics do not really include the cone (so I can’t see any stamp on the cone). The frames are gray with yellow JBL on the driver. Serials are 117xx and 120xx (where “xx” is a number).
They say “signature speaker” across the top (but not “Jim Lansing signature speaker” like the ‘61s apparently). And I’m with you on the “ears” bit – I won’t hesitate swapping these out if they aren’t what I want. I’ll just carefully pack them up and, if I ever sell it, they’ll go with it and make it a premium cost J I have a pair of Tone Tubbies in my 73 Twin that are amazing – maybe they’ll be great in a ’65 too.
I hope to find out! I appreciate your time on this, Kevin – thank you for any insights!

It is highly likely the chassis was made in '65 and the amp assembled in '66.however, with it being JULY of '66, this scenario becomes a bit less likely. Ask the seller if there is a PG inkstamped somewhere inside or outside the chassis.Ask the seller for all the #'s off the transformers.IE: they should all be 606-6xx.or 606-6-xx.the X's represent the week of the year. They should all be starting with that 6 for 1966 after the 606 which stands for Schumacher.
Also, does it say Fender Electric Instruments or Fender musical Instruments under the Twin Reverb Amp logo.post 1966 it would say 'Musical' not 'Electric'. I ended up not buying it. I found another ’65 that is three serial numbers away from the one I was looking at and the date stamp showed September ’65. Given the serial numbers, that makes sense – the chassis was probably built in Aug/Sep 65 and then put into the cab immediately. I have a tough time believing that Fender “lost” this chassis for almost a year.
And it says “Fender Musical Instruments” on the stamp although, to be fair, I’ve seen Greg G’s saying that this was put in place in early-to-middle ’65 inconsistently but in ’66 consistently. In the end I thought it was too hazy (as you put it) and, since he wanted a premium price for a ’65, I bailed. Thanks for your help!
It gets more interesting Talked to seller originally and he said he purchased two 1965 amps at the same time from same buyer in 2000ish. I presented my “findings” to him and he sent back pics of the other amp – it has the right date stamp (along with “Fender Electric Instrument Co” on tube chart) and ’65 number. However, the true ’65 cab has a 12” JBL D120F along with a 15” JBL D130F.

I think I know the answer to this question but I’ll pose it here for verification: is there any way that the 15” speaker is original (i.e. A custom order)?

Sort by: Newest 6/13/2016 Was cut off twice when on hold for tech support for my micro-speaker/dock. When I finally got a customer support rep, he had me try a few things such as resetting speaker unit. It did not work and before we were able to proceed further, I was cut off again. I am now on hold again, waiting to be cut off again.
Have liked JBL products (first set of speakers) since I was 18. Now 47 years later, service is very unsatisfactory. I would very much like to handle this by phone. I'm reluctant to wait 24 hours for a callback at 781-754-0407, especially since many reviewers indicate that the return call never comes. Paul 1/12/2016 Trying to get my bluetooth speaker repaired or replaced under warranty. I filled out the warranty exchange, read that someone would get in touch with me within 24 hours.
It's been a week and I haven't been able to speak with anyone. If I had known customer service was this bad, I would have purchased a different brand. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Stan 8/25/2015 I have been calling about my headphones for about two months. I received my head and they wrong and call back to take care of this problem and was hung up on 3 times and placed on hold for over 40 minutes the second time I call and the same results I have not talked to anyone about this problem. Clarence 6/18/2015 What have you done to your stereo's? I had a 2007 Camry SE with a jbl system and loved it.
I had a 2012 Camry SE with a jbl system and loved it. I have a 2015 Camry XSE with a jbl system, not so great. The system does not seem to have the same power as the previous systems.
When you turn the car off and start it again the stereo forgets what it was doing and has to aquire information every time from the usb drive. If the song playing has at least one minuet left so the stereo can find the number of that track it will stay in the album that is playing, even if you were on random play. If the song has less than a minute left the next song it plays is the same one every time than it is stuck in the same album every time. It's like someone forgot to hook up a memory wire.
If I want to ad a new amp, how many watts can the green edge speakers handle. I wish you had made the system just like the ones in the previous Camry's. Ron Ron 8/17/2014 bought a set 4311 monitor 35yrs ago with a sony 100 watts per channel amp, played my zz top real loud and real crisp. I'll be 71 in november still playing my zz top real loud and real crisp.if you can find a better set of speakers buy em. You never get tired of that slide. Should I not get a tee shirt x large jack 3/28/2014 I AM THINKING ABOUT MAKING MY OWN SPEAKER SYSTEM USING JBL 12 INCH 8 OHM SPEAKERS ALONG WITH THE APPROPRIATE TWEETER AND CROSS OVER.WHAT MODEL SPEAKERS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND AND WHERE CAN I PURCHASE THEM.ALSO DO YOU SELL SPEAKER KITS.
HUGO 3/13/2014 Respected Sir, A week back i bought brand new stx835 pair and stx828s pair. I want to know why the serial number on the back panel of the speakers are pasted with stickers and not printed. Lot of duplication is done in India. But i bought stx speakers for Mr. Ryan AVL in porvorim, Goa, India after contacting Mr. Rohan Tadke from JBL India.
Also recommend me a perfect matching amplifiers and a drive rack,crossover,equalizer etc. Thanking you in advance. George for Raul Sound George Rodrigues 2/6/2014 TRYING TO REACH THESE PEOPLE IS LIKE TRYING TO FIND BIN LADEN.
