Ampeg 8x10 differences + speaker guard?

[ampegfuzz]

could someone please post some of pics with plywood era jackplates that are black grill cabs so i know what to look for. I almost pulled the trigger on a cab thought to be plywood but i seen it said st. louis on it so i passed. it had only a single 1/4 inch in

single 1/4 is early-mid-90's made of plywood. they're terrific cabs.

so just so this never happens to you again:

5th digit in the serial corresponds to a year...

a = 88
b = 89
c = 90

etc. etc.

The guy told me that he had one left and that the wheels were broken. I passed. I'm looking more for an SWR 8x10 honestly. I have an SWR 6x10 now so I don't NEED another cab, but would like an 8x10.
