Official Ampeg Club!: Part II

SVT 810 from '96. Looks like it's from the stone age. I'll add pics tomorrow or Thursday when I put in my Jensen Mod10-50's. It's a franken-cab.

I bought it for 80 bucks. The only remnants of tolex were on top and by the speakers. Each and every one had a tear, hole, or worse. One of the "good ones" had lost its magnet altogether!

I repaired four of the speakers with patches and rubber cement. These were "the good ones" and "a questionable one." They'll probably last a couple months. I missed UPS today so I can't drop in the 4 Mod10-50's that'll make the top half of this cab.

I can deal with no number until pics. :p
 
naaaahhh.... Picture was taken during soundcheck. Beer wasn't there when cabs were really shakin'.

ive played with a pint on my amp?

Here's my $80 SVT810E aka the ugly duckling / frankencab. Got around to taking a picture of it.

Half original [repaired with rubber cement and patches] and half MOD10-50's.

I got this amp for $550 from a guy that said it had issues... did a retube with JJ's and vintage Mullards and this baby sounds better than ANY amp I have ever played before.
Possibly one of Ampegs least favorite amps and it seems it's everyones "whipping dog" but I absolutely LOVE it!
