Got my first ampeg fridge today. Free too!!

I just found an entire working (supposedly) cab on CL for $250. You can probably get one (or find used 410HE’s) and scavenge the speakers for way cheap.

Are those ... spiders ... in the Speakon connectors?

The most important question

 

[definenredefine]

Looking at the rust on the input sockets, are you 100% sure corrosion isn't the problem causing open circuits?

Maybe you could just replace the jack plate et voila...?

Looks like water damage from being kept in a too humid basement!

 

[HardNHeavy]

was it this cab?...

I think the Eminence Legends are like $125 each these days which would be a chunk of cash to properly re-fit the cab.

Based on the rust on the connectors, I would seriously question the integrity of that cabinet before doing anything. But IF the cabinet is ok, then I would have all eight speakers (assuming they are original) re-coned and get a new grill.

Is it really free if you’ve gotta replace all of the speakers in it?

So Anyway, there was a CL Tuck & Roll Kustom head that I wanted. I didn't want the big Non-Kustom Cabinet that was part of his listing. We finally agreed on a price for just the head, but he wouldn't sell it to me unless I also took the now-free cabinet.
At that point I became his free large-item removal service.

Good Luck to the OP with updating the 8x10 cab. Love to play through them, wouldn't consider owning one.

No

How the hell do you manage to blow up an 8x10??

Looking at the rust on the jacks, squirrels may have been to blame.
