Acoustic Control Corporation 408

[cd_david]

I bought this cab a few years ago with the intention of restoring it and possibly keeping it. 
I have two 408s already so in a moment of rational thought I decided to sell it as bought and as A project for the next owner to tackle. 
 

No sniffs on the sales thread so I decided to do it up. 
I stripped it, repaired the front lower edge with new wood, filled the dents and scars with 2 pack filler. 
Re tolexed with period correct fender silver face era. Thankfully the grills were without damage so they just got a good clean.

Lovely job.  Respectful to the original.

 

Didn't Nick Lowe refer to one of these after getting a massive shock on stage?  Probably an urban legend, unless someone else knows better.

 

These are the lines I'm referring to from So it Goes.

I remember one night the kid cut off his right arm
In a bid to save a bit of power
He got fifty thousand watts
In a big acoustic tower
