Btw, Linnin. I already have the Rumble 210 cab, which I love. And even though it's not heavy, a little lighter and a 12" option seems worthwhile. There I go talking myself into it. See, I told you that I don't need any help.

Mo' Rumbles Is Mo' Betta! 
Hey, Rumblers!
Once again the practice room gods have smiled upon me.
Check out what I found in the shop when I went for my lesson today.
Thought you might dig this blast from the past. Looks like a v2 Rumble 30.
Anybody got stats, weight, experience with these?
Wow! 2 inputs?

If $188 is the price, that is too high. I'm seeing them on the innerwebz for $99. It would be a great practice amp at a reasonable price.
Does that mean I have to sell two of the four I have?
It is! Looks to be in excellent condition.
It's heavy for it's size because the cabinet is made from MDF, and the owner's manual does not list the weight. The 10" Fender 'Special Design' speaker is very good and is the very same as is used in today's V3 Rumble 40 & Studio 40. I remember these sold for $179 brand new & shipped, so $188 is outrageous. You can buy a brand new Rumble 40 for just $11 more. Plus you could get a brand new Rumble LT25 for that same $11 more. I'd say $77-88 would be fair market value. I'd rather have the V2 Rumble 30 over the $99 V3 Rumble 25. https://www.fmicassets.com/Damroot/Original/10001/OM_leg_bassamp_Rumble_15_30_75_2010.pdf

Speaking as a recent owner of my 2nd concurrent Rumble (a Studio) I would add the qualifier that two Rumbles is only enough when at least one of them is a Studio or Stage. 'Cause, you know, with their 100 different presets, they each count for more than one! [Edit to add: the LT25 also counts for more the one, but a little less than a Stage or Studio due to fewer presets]
Now, a Stage and Studio or LT25, with or without some other Rumbles, could be heaven.
Gravey, I think your 4 Rumbles is just about right for no Stage or Studio. So, ... ...
Rumble On!

Most definitely qualifies as Fender Seventh Heaven complete with Angelic Choir.

BYOH: Bring Your Own Harp! 4, 5, 6, 8, or even 12 strings!! (I ain't gots no halo, an' ain't likely to, neither.)

I wouldn't be surprised if there is, but I can't really tell from this list in the manual. Care to hazard a guess?
100, 40, 2x25. Also Bassman 500, 2 neo 1X15, 500h, Rumble 2x10.
I think I'm covered.
Nope. No judgement here. Like the man said..."Mo Rumbles, Mo better!" With my Studio 40, I just don't anymore combos...for now.Does that mean I have to sell two of the four I have?
I count the Bassman 500 as a Rumble. Same power section, different pre and different and cool case. So, a Bassman 500 is Mo Rumble all by itself.But, But, But...I thought mo rumbles was, you know....
Someone(?) once said mo' Rumbles is mo' betta-or something like that.Does that mean I have to sell two of the four I have?
Thanks, @Linnin
Yeah. The weights I found online were 35 pounds for the v2 Rumble 30 and 55 pounds for the v2 Rumble 75.
I was surprised. Looks like they didn’t figure out the lightweight idea until v3. For that reason I’m glad my cabs are v3. Plus, I think v3 looks better.
IMO v2 stuff is UUUUGLY, but it sounds so good! I’m glad I went with a v2 head-I just try not to look at it.
Tape an 8x10 glossy of a v3 head in front of it.
Don’t think I haven’t considered it!Tape an 8x10 glossy of a v3 head in front of it.
Here’s the v2 Rumble 150 I play through at my practice place. The guy I play with has a studio and this is what he has for a bass amp.
Not too bad!
Not as good looking as this though:
