Where have all the columns gone?

They can't have all been robbed of their speakers and then chucked on the bonfire surely?

I get all nostalgic for stuff like this. First band in I was in we had a pair of VOX 4x10s I think, then later upgraded to a full 100watt Fender PA. head and columns (with 4 x 1/4 jack inputs)

Wouldn't mind getting a pair just for the rehearsal studio for old time sake.

It is a mystery, as was BLs inability to build a gearbox that lasted. There must be a 'graveyard' like elephants or aircraft in USA. These columns are just awaiting rebirth as SMLA with NHD in marketing speak - SMall Line Array, Narrow Horizontal Dispersion. I would quite like to find a set and put some 'reasonable' (not premium) speakers in and see how they perform. Cabinets were usually quality Birch ply.

My son's band were given a pair of the Marshall ones about 15 years ago.
Each one contained a pair of Celestion 25w 12" Greenbacks and a pair of 10"s.
Sadly the speakers were worth more than the full cabinets.

That's really surprising! I know a guy with a set of all original Marshall vertical 412s and he calls them his pension!
