Peavey updated the MiniMax, and to be honest, it looks like a nice improvement, at least in terms of being more sturdy/durable.
As promised, here's a picture of the original port plugs from the SMX cabs.
Just a basic 4" plastic bung.
Ok, I know this thread has been going on forever so it's probably the best place to ask. Thinking of getting this. Guy who has it says it looks rough..obviously..but sounds fine. What say ye? Comments and suggestions welcomed.Thanks!

I wouldn't play a 5string with that EQ at any volume. Lots of gigs it could do. Lots of gigs would need more cab. Those Series6 are supposed to be extremely reliable. In the US they are undervalued imo.
As long as you aren’t the seller - then you need full membership and put it in classifieds
I had a 11-band Series 6 heads, a 250 and a 300. Beasts, both of em.
The 210, that'll need help to plumb the depths...
I would say it's a great price but would take some cleaning up to take out in public maybe add a 15 to get SPL. Series Six was a great amp w plenty tone and power.

Is that transition era, when Peavey bought Trace Elliot?

My friend actually wrote the books, and the script for that movie.
Frikkin' do it. And yeah, add a cab- if you could find an 1153 single-15 cab, you'd be in really nice shape.
Take a good look at the bottom of the cab where the Tolex has come apart. The cab is MDF, and if there is any water damage, it might be a real bear to clean up, and may be literally falling apart.
I have a very similar rig that I completely recovered. It was a lot of work but came out great.

Medium density fiberboard is compressed wood fibers held together with a resin epoxy. It tends to soak up water and expand. If that's the case it will not expand further but will be structurally weaker. You can look at the wood and see a grain or not
Thanks all. May get a chance to look at it this week, maybe today. Even think he'll take a little less, which is great. Yeah, the peeling Tolex was also a concern of mine. Hopefully, it doesn't look too badly in that spot, and even if it's not perfect the deal is pretty good. I already have a single 15 cabinet, an old Traynor TS115 with an EV, which might work.
Spot what, sorry? My eyes immediately locked on that gorgeous Jack V in the pic.
