Which Marshall cab is this?

kingsxman · 07-23-2009, 09:44 PM

Just picked it up. Trying to decide if I should keep this and sell my Budda 4x12 or keep the Budda. Dont need both. Would help to know a bit more about this one. I "think" its an 80's JCM 800 cab..but not sure. Figure I'd better ask the experts.

I dont think these speakers are stock. They appear to be Rolas with a date code of 1975. Anyone have any knowledge of those? I've just put in 2 WGS 1265's to hear how that sounds in it.

Dude, less bandwidth on the pics!! LOL

You left out the most important picture: the silver label under the output jack. What does it say?

Those speakers do NOT look original to me.

Could be a 1982 B or a 1960 B....

Those speakers dont even look like celestions to me. To get the best out of the cab you would probably have to swap them for some better quality ones. Which isnt going to be cheap.

THey're not celestions. They're rola alnico's...cira 1975.
I'll have to get another pic of the cab with the silver label..but if memory serves me right....you cant read it.

From other forums it appears that this is a mid to late 70's cab. No idea what happened to original speakers.
