  i had some luck in the NOS light department last fall when i obtained a couple NOS CJ184s (E2 & E4 series) and figured i would share some pictures of them.   these lights will join a couple other CJ184 lights as well as a NOS CJ284 that i have in my collection.

   i found the E2 series light to be a little different than any of my other CJ lights with it having a series 2 motor and a different style motor mount.   in previously talking with elb member dmathieu he related that the E series designation was supposed to indicate the switch over to the stainless steel base/skirt, but this one has a chrome plated brass base/skirt like the ones that were associated with the earlier A series.  one other thing i noticed is the rougher/not so glossy finish on the speaker driver.

Very impressive! Congrats on the find
the find that almost wasn't.  the guy i got the E4 series light from said it was from an in-laws estate and that he saved it from being sent to the dump.  he indicated that the original box it was in was in bad shape and if he hadn't been curious and checked inside the box it would have been thrown out.  couldn't imagine something like that ending up  in the trash.
