1960 Vintage 4x12 cab Problems....

When I try to use this cab on 16ohm or 4ohm i don't get any sound. I have opened it up and checked all the obvious connections and they all seem good.

If i half plug the speaker jack into the cab I get sound from the left two speakers but nothing from the right. Anyone know what the problem could be?
I guess the two right speakers could have blown. Is there an easy way to test?

Thanks

It's not the speakers. I just swapped around the wires on the back of the speaker sockets and now the right side works but not the left.

Might be the wiring or the speaker jacks then.

yes it does. I always have it on mono.
I only get sound when the tip of the speaker jack touches the second contact on the input socket of the cab. Then if I push it in all the way, I get nothing??
