Since I have a V2, V4 and the V4B in question, I will check the others and see.

So on the back of my PF 210 cab there are two plastic sliders. I'd like to get some of those for another cab I have any idea where I can find them?
Thanks! Found this place and they have multiple sizes plus a bunch of other hardware

I just attempted to find out the exact date when my JBL D140R 15" speaker was made, serial #11403 and found that this is a difficult task. Does anyone here have a link that would lead to getting to the bottom of this? I bought it a number of years ago (love it - it's in my '76 B15N) and was told then it was late '60s.
Made in the same week? JBL D140 R 1960's | Reverb
Money well spent.
Unlike most speakers, you don't find date codes on these speakers. R stands for Rogers Organ from what I understand.

Someone got a great price on that one! Yes, from a Rogers organ which was under the Fender umbrella. Mine has a silver-dome.
The silver domes were their trade mark. I had two of them in a cab back then and, to me, they were fabulous.
The one on reverb looks like a recone. The outer edge has too much "gloss" to be that old. Not a scientific approach, but I've seen lots of drivers... It is too dark too. Even the drivers out of my ampegs from the 90's have more fade and "patina" than the one on reverb does.
Someone else always gets those deals.
That cone looks pretty much like the re-cone in my '63 Jensen Concert, the aluminum cone adds a bit of high end shimmer. It sounds so good.
Sometimes a re-cone is a good thing. It has to be done properly.

For sure, liken to getting a pro fret-job on a vintage bass - no down-side.
I have a couple of PR-410HLF's, ugly as sin and weigh a ton but really sound good too, you just need to be judicious with the bass control.

Cool! I see some nice tubes plugged into that amp. Sylvania 6SL7's for instance but none in stock. They must have sold all of those already.
Same story for the Amperex 5AR4.
Does anybody know where I could get the gray foam gasket seals for the cabinet of a 90's SLM B15R?
I don't know about grey but I would imagine that fliptops.com has them.
