JBL model L150 woofer cone color question

I am thinking about buying a pair of JBL L150's.

My question is:

The main woofers ( Model 128 H ) cones are black in color instead of white.

I am suspicious that this indicates woofers are not correct and original.....maybe it has been re-coned ?

My concern ...will this affect the sound and resale value of speakers

if I am right ?

The model # 128 H is on the magnet of woofer, which is the correct #.

Asking Price is $ 1300.

Opinions please.

Thank you

I don't know how this would affect resale value. I moved to the Los Angeles area in late 1977 and saw many of both floating around for many years, along with tons of D130's. The L110 and L150 were the first JBL's that I liked the sound of (aside from a Paragon that I heard years before). DeKay
