Does anyone know about this Ampeg cab?

Hi! First time posting here.

I'm interested in getting an Ampeg again after about 7 years when I passed on a clean V4-B...

Saw this on craigslist here:

Would anyone have a clue as to when this obviously recovered Ampeg cab was made? 70s? 80s? 90s? I ask because it looks like an old cab (no slant back), but the seller posted specs of a newer cab (http://www.ampeg.com/products/classic/svt610hlf/index.html) and I'm not sure they are the same...

Were 610HLFs made back in the day?

FWIW, I was thinking about using it with a V4-B at some point, although now all I have is a GK 400RB and a BagEnd 1x12...

Doesnt look like an ampeg. Somethings off.

I'm no Ampeg expert, but that looks nothing like my 610 hlf....

I don't recall seeing an Ampeg cabinet with a removable rear cover. In fact, I don't recall seeing that feature on any cabinet since the late 60's

OK, that settles it. Too bad, this seller's been pretty persistent, I've seen this thing on craigslist for the last year or more... hope no one gets burned.

Thanks friends.

Not an HLF, but it's could be an Ampeg. Can't find the exact model in the Ampeg book at a short glance, but they did make a 610 in the 70's. Looks like it's been recovered, but that's the styling of the straightback 810 from 69-73.

There's a lot of older bass speaker gear here in Hawaii. Its generally too expensive and near impossible to get new big cabs shipped here. I see many local guys with gear that should be dead and buried, but they keep patching it together and trading it from person to person.

I do believe that is an Ampeg cab. They made a 6x10 cab a while back that looks very similar to that.

It MAY have been the v4 or v6 cab? Something similar to that I believe.

I've never played one, but I do believe it is truly an Ampeg. Definitely not the 610hlf, though!
