What keeps me in the game? I'm aching to get back in the game, to be frank. My last band ended abruptly (and I still thin unnecessarily, but there you go....) and I'm trying hard to chalk it up to experience, learn what I can from the process and get back on the horse. I have a guitarist, but that's it in terms of musicians. I need at least a drummer and a singer, but when they're found I'm really looking forward to getting back in the saddle. I'm never going to be a great (or probably even good) musician, but I don't care too much about that, I just really enjoy gigging and helping people to enjoy themselves.

Yeah, I saw... I can get some roughly "equivalent" Celestion TF1530e for £195 a par, though.

Thanks Bill, that's very good of you indeed - I'll see what I can find in terms of those drivers.

@Bill Fitzmaurice, here's an attempt at providing you with the dimensions. I'm not an expert at this by any stretch, but if you need anything else just let me know. Thanks ever so much for going out of your way to help me with this project.

I checked, and you are correct - the spare driver I have has a cast chassis. I'm now on the hunt for some possible presses candidates, and will have to see if @Bill Fitzmaurice will do a few calculations for me. Thanks all - the BC hive mind at its' finest! JRK

I don't know how to work all that out, which is a shame. Is it simply a case of measuring the internal size of the cab (presumably not the ports) and going from there?

Well, that would explain the blown speakers!

Ah, I hadn't thought about that; I think the originals are pressed and the other driver has a cast chassis. I'll check when I get home. Thanks for the tip!

That's great to know - if the speaker currently in it is original there's nothing to tell me that it's an Eminence. The only distinguishing feature is the square magnet! I think I'll fit it with more modern speakers that can handle a bit more oomph, as dragging a(nother!) 2x15 around isn't going to be worth it unless it'll pump out a decent volume without dying again.

I've just come into possession of this: I think it's from the 1970's, and it has one missing cone and one dead cone, which, given the 4ohm impedance and paltry 160w rating, I'm not surprised about. I'd like to fit some new speakers to it and give it a bit of a spruce up. I have heard it in action, years ago, and from what I could tell it sounded pretty reasonable, so if I can get it up and running again it might be fun. I have the mesh grille and all the fixings, but the one 15" speaker I have won't fit in the hole in the baffle, annoyingly. I'm not sure at present whether this is because the speaker's chassis is too big or the hole is undersized; I suspect some research may well be due. If anyone has any info or insight into these cabs then I'm all ears. Cheers, JRK

Status Sharks. Always wanted one, and have only ever seen one for sale (it's on Ebay now and I can't afford it...).

Maybe we should all reply to him and offer our services. Could be a fun forum day out, innit?

Gruyereoplane - RHCP

Or the Fender Extortocaster?

The most important question is surely not "is that a mod?", but "is that mod any good for metal?".

Yeah, fair dos, that's cool.
