Just bought this for $100 bucks, driving home with it now.. I had no way to test it, I'll check it, clean it and see what up...

Yeah head & cab…
I cleaned it all up, it works… Only a few scratchy pots that cleared up almost immediately.

Is the cabinet painted? I had the same one covered in vinyl. It started peeling right after I bought it. I've been wanting to roll on some bedliner, but I'm in no hurry since I don't use a cab on stage anymore.
Cab is covered in OEM Vinyl, this one too has inferior adhesive. I have a whole can of 3m adhesive, I’m fixing little spots and rolling it flat..

So I’m a “tinker type” and couldn’t leave the amp alone…
I pulled it apart because I wanted to see the guts and spray out the pots. Perfectly clean inside and out, like new and runs well.
Board is marked 3-2-05, nice to see it so clean and nothing out of order. I see nothing that concerns me as far as build design, potential wiring chafe or crappy soldering.

Nice score!
That 410TVX is a great cabinet. I used to have the 410TXF (same thing with rat fur covering) I miss the sound but dont miss moving it.
That's a good solid head also.

I agree, my 1927 RCA Radiola with 1925 speaker is older than all of us and will keep going beyond when I’m
That’s like $.50 a pound, maybe even less! Talk about bang for the buck.
Amazing deal, and from the era where Peavey cosmetics were so understated as to be almost invisible. High-five yourself silly and go play the ass off of that thing!
I'm using my 4X10TXF as my laptop computer stand as I type!
(they do sound great)
I had that same setup for awhile. Decent sound, enough volume on tap. One thing you may want to do is remove or bypass the tweeter and crossover in the cab. The cab sounds better without the tweeter - and by 'better' I mean that it actually has more high end available. I tried it and it worked - of course, my tweeter was already blown - which I believe is a known issue with those cabs....
