Lot Of 4 Unmatched Vintage Speakers JBL 4208, JBL M5, Pioneer CS-C300 - $4 (concord / pleasant hill / martinez)
QR Code Link to This Post
The bookshelf speakers do not make a matched pair.
One is an unbranded 2-way.
They are dusty/dirty because they were in a storage that was not airtight.
Because I have to walk about a mile to my storage unit I will only sell these via my eBay listing.
You order and pay for them and then get the day/time for pick-up at the Public Storage on 245 Hookston Road in Pleasant Hill.
You will have eBay’s buyer protection. If you decide you don’t want them you can get a refund.
You have to pay the sales tax.

A friend gave me these and I have not tested them so that’s why I indicate they are for salvage.
AI generated these so they may or may not be accurate:
