fender deluxe reverb 65 reissue vintage jensen 4x10 speakers mojotone cabinet - $500 (Tacoma)
Printable View
Assuming the speaker impedance load is properly matched to eight ohms, the concept is sound. I once drew up plans for such a combo conversion and it is eminently feasible. The finished cabinet would've resembled a Super Reverb.
Sounds heavy to me. I'd not want to lugging that around. Roadies would have something to say about it.

2x10 does sound a bit more feasible, but I would love just to hear a 4x10 Deluxe
Maybe a AA/AB763 Bandmaster head with a 4x10 cab would be better?

I would think the cabinet and speakers alone would be worth close to $500. I can't tell for sure from the photos, but it looks like the speakers might be wired series/parallel, which would give an 8 ohm impedance if the speakers are 8 ohm (can't tell that either from the photos).Quote:

So in that case, they might not have much value in a guitar amp. I guess it depends on how they sound. What do you estimate their age to be, given their appearance?Quote:

No way of course to know if the coils/cones are original. i wouldn't write them off out of hand though -- they might sound marvelous. Many off these drivers were installed in up-scale consoles from National Radio, Philco, Magnavox, etc and were generally state of the art for their time.
Aaaaand it's gone. The seller dropped it down by $20 (to $480) this morning. I did not buy it.
I think you missed an opportunity Rob, but I have more money than sense.Quote:

Something else will come around, I'm sure of it.
Gear deals are like city buses. Miss one, no sweat......there'll be another along in twenty minutes.
