There are other refernces in the Carvin Museum that may be helpful as well.
My 1st bass rig was a Carvin PBII 300 watter w/ an 18" and a 2x12. I think it had 12's , may have been 15's but similar to your post
 
I have an older version of that cabinet (before they started using carpet) but for the most part it's identical. The thing has been through hell and back and it's still in good shape, so at least I can say it's durable.

I'd find out what kind of speakers are in it to determine how much it's worth. I bought a cab on ebay last year, got the thing apart and found out it had a 15" Rado Shack speaker in it :mad: If you can, ask to see the speakers, it's only a few screws worth of effort, if the guy isn't afraid to show you what's in there, he should have no problem with it.


If they're halfway decent speakers, it's definitely worth a buck and a half.
