All new hand wired YBA3A (2 channle) CAB recomendations

I'am curently having my 68' YBA3A totaly rewired with two channels, extra pre amp tube, new sockets for kt88's and a bunch of other cool suff my question is about cab selection.

First: I have two empty old Peavey 1 15" , 1" horn PA cabs (is it worth buying new speakers and reworking the front baffle adding proper port size)I want to end up with 1 15" cab and 2 12".
these cabs are 28''x15"x22" 3/4 ply and sturdy

second: Just go out and buy new (problem with new??)
well the Yba3a is a Moster Head @ 100lbs+ and 28'' wide and nothing on the market today is that wide {23" or so}can't find cabs that I can put sideways and stack up in this config and i really don't want to have the stone henge look

Any suggestions or help will be greatly appretiated

Thanks Jess
 
I also have a Super Custom Special in my Traynor collection and an arm stretcher it is.

I just turned my 2x15 cab on its side when I used that head.

You could always go with 2 cabs and seperate them a bit for a better Stonehenge Trilithon look. :)
 
I was thinking Peavey TVX 4 12 (good luck finding one though) would be perfect for the job but I don't want to loose the 15" .If I get a two 12 cab and a 1 15 cab say Eden and turn them on there side it sort of works only the 15 cab is still smaller. I know I'm being picky but I might have some level of OCD when it comes to stacking cabs.

Oh and what about the old Peavey 1 15 cabs does anyone think it's a good Idea to retrofit them into 1 15 and 2 12 cabs ???
