Ampeg SVT5 PRO

Hijacking slightly, but does anyone know this cabinet? I cannot find any info. Worth $150? Thank you.

a little damaged...but shouldn't affect the performance


I almost bought one last year but right before the guy was going to ship it out he said that it wouldn't power up or was shutting down right away, I think that was a common problem with these. I schlep tube SVT's and 810's it's not as bad as people make it out to be, grab a nice hand truck and something they easily fit in for transportation and you'll be golden, once you get it setup you'll always be glad you got something behind you that sounds so good.

Ok I pulled the trigger. He knew what he had, was just needing the money and had been trying to sell it for quite a while. Sounds great and came with everything pictured.

Anyone know if the cabinet can be redone, and if so roughly how much? I'm in S. California if that helps.

Thank you in advance for any advice and assistance.

See I told you so, Good Job!. No advice on the cab repair, hopefully some of the other members can help out here. I recall one of our members builds some Ampeg replica stuff. Hopefully someone will know how to get in touch. Would also like to know the info myself.
 
I think this person builds some replica B series stuff. I remember seeing some picture of his work taking a combo, and making it into a head and cab set up for easier transport. Anyway the stuff looked great! Just FYI here.
