ID this cab
 
For sale locally. Just trying to get an idea of what it is. 2x15 with a single 1/4" input on the back.

Thanks!

Idk but if those are JBL's I'd be tempted to go for it.

gimp 01-08-2013 02:13 PM

$50... might be worth the gamble.

coreyfyfe 01-08-2013 02:17 PM

Sunn, by my guess. Which would mean that yes, those are probably JBL or Altec speakers.

The shelf looks very Sunn-like as does the grill cloth

Right on. 8ohms, right?

Not that I need ANOTHER 2x15, but I can't pass up that price.

looks like a early 70's Sunn cab however Sound City may be a possible contender as well

coreyfyfe 01-08-2013 02:27 PM

For $50 I wouldn't either. Probably 4 ohms, my guess would be two 8 ohm speakers. If those are JBL or Altec and in good condition they're probably worth double that each.

Sunn 200s or a damn good copy.

Codger 01-08-2013 02:52 PM

The drivers do look like they have the JBL ridges.

It looks like a Traynor to me.

mattbass6945 01-08-2013 02:57 PM

$50? go for it.

4" dia alloy centre dome with a radial striated cone says JBL 140 to me therefore get the cab. I bet its a Sunn cab.:bassist:

gimp 01-08-2013 06:17 PM

Hopefully I'll find out soon. Thanks for the help!

Jerry Ziarko 01-08-2013 06:26 PM

It's a Sunn, although the grill cloth looks like it may have been replaced. Look here: http://johnkvintageguitars.homestead...nn2x15cab.html

Grab that thing. The grille cloth looks right for an early Sunn, the metal corners and type of tolex also look correct. It's pretty much a dead ringer for my '67 200s cab, except my grille isn't detachable.

Oren Hudson 01-08-2013 08:09 PM

Speaker dust cover dome is too big for Altec. They were smaller than JBL and others. $50 is a no brainer, IMO. :cool:

gimp 01-08-2013 08:53 PM

No brainer, but I was beaten to it. Someone got it tonight before I could take a ride tomorrow. Oh well, snooze/loose.

lol-true! -I have an old S.C. 4x12 pa cab as part of a bass rig and it does indeed have piping running front to back near the edges
