Does anyone know what the going rate is for an ancient (1978) Gallien Krueger 4412H cabinet?

If you've never heard of it, the cab sports 4 x 12" drivers in a folder horn arrangement and 2 x 10" drivers front firing.
It's about the size of an 8 x 10 cab and over 100 pounds.

Tonally, it's a very very smooth sounding cabinet with lots of bite from the 10s. Perhaps a little scooped in the mids.

Anyway, I have one that I'm finally going to sell and I'm looking for a reasonable asking price...

I would go to ebay and see if you can find any that have sold there. I used to have one of these monsters and have fond memories of making ears bleed in the back of the club.:D Finally got tired of hauling it in the trunk of an old Impala....:hmm:.....and stepped "up" (maybe down) to Hartke 410s.

I have one I bought used off a guy for $250 a few years ago. I've played through a number of rigs and this thing is something special. Mine's a little rough so I'm refurbishing it myself. New tolex, handles and casters. It still has the original speakers, though. Personally I think this beast is worth more than $250 so I like to think I got lucky in acquiring mine. I haven't really been able to track down much about them and I've only met two bassists in the seven years that I've had it that have even heard of it.

I remember seeing one of these on LA craigslist a couple years back.. maybe around $200 but I cant say for certain. I have the "little" brother to your cab that has 4-12's contained in two separate chambers. It's an amazing cab but I would love to hear what yours sounds like!
