The photo below shows a four π loudspeaker with a JBL 2226 woofer. The 2205 and 2225 woofers look like that too, and speakers reconed with JBL recone kits look exactly the same as originals. As for purchasing used, I would either prefer to buy from a trusted source, and get one that I knew was either in perfect as-new condition (whether reconed or original) for around $200 or just get the basket without the cone for around $100. Then you can get it reconed yourself and be certain of getting a JBL recone kit.
