[s-cars] another mystery - phantom sunroof

[Jerry Scott]

Hey JC
Since you are a vintage audio hobbyist, have you ever done a foam 
resuspension of a 12 in. woofer?  I have a set of JBL L65 Jubals and need to 
have refoam on the cones.  Is this much of a job as a DIYer?  I have ordered 
the foam on line and waiting for delivery.
Jerry
