I can do you an empty 4x10 cab for you to auto-fill....[/quote]

Sorry should have been more sensible with my question, any 4x10s under £350/may-stretch-to-400?

Sure....

Great top cab 300w 410H £325
Powerhouse bottom cab 800w 410 £350

Clean and ready.
Both Series 6-ish era.

Carriage is gonna be £30 overnight insured.
Take the pair and I'll deliver fer nowt.

£350 can also/instead get you a 15+10 same size as a 410.
If you like a full, bright sound - that is the very dab!

Also to be considered is a tidy AH250 GP12SMX 410H combo @ £500 delivered.
Gives the valve pre and dual compression option, and no worse a lift than a 4x10 cab.
JIC it appeals....

7 heads and 15 cabs and 5 combos and 5 flight cases - I can't set all that up for photos at once.
Prices depend on what you want.
As stated, tell me specific wants and you get a specific reply.
Already swapped a head and sent out 4 priced replies.

How about saying what you are looking to buy?
Easy.

OK - let's try a list:

Heads

MkIV AH150 - gone
Mk2 AH250
MkV AH250
MkV AH350X
Mk 2 AH500
MkV AH500
Series 6 AH200 - gone

Cabs

Mk2 410 200w
MkV 410 200w
MkV 410 800w
Ser 6 410H 300w
Mk2 1518 200w
MkV 1518 200w
Ser 6 1518 300w
Ser 6 1153 200w shallow format - gone
Ser 6 1153 200w deep format
Ser 6 2103X 2x10 + 2x5
Green carpet 1503
V series 2x15 500w
Mk112+15+18 4ohm
Mk1 15+18 4ohm
MkV 18+10
Ser 6 15+10

Combos

Mk2 150w 1x15
Mk2 150w 1x15
Mk2 300w 410
Ser 6 200w 2x10 + 2x5 valve pre
Ser 6 GP12SMX 250w 4x10H

I think that's it....

Biggest money piece(s) is the Mk2 AH500 and 410 and 15 stack in black painted wood.
Flight cases are Tarce, but newer than the gear.
Taken me 15 years to pull that together....

Whew!

Yes - two Series 6/black rexine = good ones.
One shallow format, one deep format.
Means splitting the AH200 + 1153 + 1203X stack, though....
And a green carpet one.

Hi Thorny.
Thought I´d ask you first, before starting a thread, as you seem to have a fairly comprehensive knowledge of Trace gear.
I had a Trace amp last year but couldn´t figure out what model it was.
It was an 8x10 combo (very old). All original drivers were there. The head section had the familiar Trace faceplate, big red and green knobs, eq,- GP11 written on it and a UV unit. I thought GP11 was a preamp, not an amp?
The cab didnt have any red lines or any other unique Trace features, but did have the chrome speaker brackets (4 per speaker- Hall if I remember right).
Anyways, Do you know what model this was? its killing me trying to figure it out.
Cheers,
Colin

[size=3]Are akshully up for one - or just perving?[/size]


The big cab is empty at the mo'.

400w Eminence 18 £100
300w Eminence 15 £75
The 12 has to be a shallow frame, so ...
200w JBL 12 £125
Loading and shifting and courier £100
...and something for the box... £100
£500, I guess.

Last Trace price was £1,182 in 1984. Discontinued @ MkV time. Cost was going to be £2k and they figured no one would pay £2k + retail markup. Quite right!

Photos are tricky, as I have to move a bunch of stuff to get at it and the weather is pish for that.

The cut down cab will be easier, and I may be seeing it today.
I'll snap if so.
The drivers are the right ones.
Fane Crescendo 400w 18
Celestion 150w cast frame 15"
£375?

Putting the black paint cab version AH250 on it completley does it for me as a "balls-out/fill any hall/bass? here's yer bass, pal" rig.

I was up at the roomwith Rumour6 a few weeks ago.

AH500 through 4x10 and 1x15 on one side and the 15+18 on the other.
Then 1x15 + 2x15 and 15+18
Then 4x10+4x10 and 15+18
Then 4ohm 4x12 and 15+18
Then 4x10+4x10 and 1x15+1x15

Same volume in the room and 100m away.
Tcha!!!!

But - for me - the 15+18 on its own was pullentee.
Am I broken?

Aye, it can go. I only have a couple of cabs that can take that thing and I am valve chuffing with my trusty Hiwatt 200 just now.

Model 2001 375w head.

I got it a while back with an intermittent fault.
My tech sorted it, then we tested it and it was A+++ for a while, then something started up again.
Coould have been a basic component or a valve (lord knows there's enough of them in there).
Rather than throw more time/£ at it at that point, I mothballed it.

A lot of the £ is going to be in the valves...
I stuffed it with strong USA 6550s, but I have a set of Trace Chinese KT88s from when I had all those V8s (3) and V6s (4).

I prefer to guarantee my stuff. My plan is to send it back to Marshall for a factory sort-out, then sell it with its 1-yr repair guarantee.

But someone else can take that bit on if they want.

Hard to value, but I am sure an archive search will come up with a 'fair market' price.

Tough call...
...last one that went on ebay (in 2008, before valve prices went up twice) pulled £1k and had no statement of internal/operation condition - or even if it was working?!?!

Currently has £520 ebay-worth of valves in it.
Gotta be worth £1250 after Marshall get done with it (why send it anywhere else for a check-up?)

I'll sell it valveless as-is for £525 delivered.

Or we can go the 'check it first' wait-and-see route and do £1,250.

I know it is a wide range, but there is no 'market price' for such a rare piece.
