NCD - 1970’s August 2x12 cab

[Pea Turgh]

Just picked up a 2x12 from a nice chap on Freecycle.  He owned it for 50 years.

Guessing It’s not for bass, but the square-back magnets made me think of Ampeg B15s!

 

Googling yields no results.  Will pop the back off to see if there’s any information on the drivers, but anyone know anything about these cabs?

This thing is messed up, but I’ll use it anyway!  The top driver works, bottom driver has taken a knock sounds like the coil is out of alignment - scratchy noises on excursion.

Took the back off - carcass is particle board, and damaged around the top speaker, which also has a torn cone!

 

Despite this, it doesn’t sound too bad with a bass going through it!

 

Plan of action: wire up top speaker only, leave bottom speaker in situ and use as-is for an unusual but decent sounding music room guitar cab.

Still no info whatsoever on Google.  Anyone even heard of the brand before?

I came across a 4x12" August cab a very, very long time ago. Late '80s or so. I'm reasonably certain that the speakers were different from what I'm seeing in your cab, though. The dust caps were not metal for sure. No recollection of how it sounded whatsoever. I bought it with a truckload of other stuff, made sure it was working and moved it on for pennies...

 

Once in a very blue moon you'll hear someone mentioning them, but they seem to be quite rare.

 

Good luck.
