WWRRSS Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 [attachment=43796:untitled.PNG] I saw a cab like this with a recessed grille at the weekend for £125, does anyone have any information on it? the fella who had it didn't seem to know anything at all about it, including what speakers it holds?

casapete Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Seem to remember these cabs were made between 1973 and 1975. Model number 2065 I believe, they contained a 15 inch speaker( possibly from the then current Celestion Powercell range) and were probably rated at around 125 watts/8 ohms. They were available in red as well as usual Marshall dark grey,and I think were the same external dimensions as a 4x12. The cabinet design was often referred to as 'picture frame'!!! Hope this helps. Cheers Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWRRSS Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Thanks! yeah , it was the same size as a 4x12, did they sound any good though? Edited March 1, 2010 by WWRRSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbilly deluxe Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I had one a loooong time ago in purple with 15" speaker,i think that 18" speakers were also an option.It was cheap,horrible and almost impossible to get rid of.I converted mine into a 4 x 12 as it is the same size.

Big heavy inefficient cab,for collectors only methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbilly deluxe Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) I do'nt know if it's still there,but there was one in McKays Music in Newcastle about 6 years ago,that had been there since the dawn of time. 1970 (or earlier)- 1974ish,was the coloured cab period.Rare because they are rubbish,most will have ended up being thrown away.

hillbilly deluxe Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I have a feeling that the cab was his from his prog rock days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
