Sold-comps summary
Complete L100 pairs with original-style grilles bring a clear premium over driver-only or cabinet-project pairs.
The checker uses conservative reference bands rather than live scraping. Final sale price can still move with location, buyer confidence, shipping risk, and whether service work is documented.
Value drivers
- Iconic orange or blue Quadrex grilles
- Original LE25 tweeters and 123A woofers
- Clean walnut cabinets
Common issues and restoration notes
- Missing or deteriorated foam grilles
- Refoamed or replaced woofers
- Scratched veneer and pushed dust caps
For JBL L100 Century, buyers usually discount undocumented service because missing or deteriorated foam grilles can change repair cost quickly. Keep receipts, note replaced lamps or capacitors, and photograph serial plates, controls, faceplate edges, and included accessories before listing.
