I was thinking the same thing. As a previously enjoyed husband myself, I know it sucks to go through a divorce.

I gots to be a member here: pic follows
I cranked this up and it worked swell before the cheap-ass speaker cab blew.
Looking recommendations for cheap practical cabs/speakers for this puppy, and general suggestions from the club!

Very nice! 2x15 is a footprint I can't squeeze in, though (I *do* mean squeeze). That will take some planning.
Glad to find the club - I've been trying to find info on this beast for 10 years...time to go read!

Don't get excited (unless you live in that area), it's pickup only, but:

Agreed! I own a similar rig (80's vintage Peavey 115 w/either ACC 120 or 320 head). Turned on it's side, the Peavey cab is just the right width to match those wider sized heads. I blacked out the grill so they look well matched.
I just picked up a mint 120 just like that. Much lighter than my 220 but almost as loud! Its gonna save my back thankfully.
I updated the blown driver to a 4 ohm 300 watt Eminence CA-154. It's been gigged but I have a large collection so none of them work hard.
@ghostinthemach Do you have any idea what year that 120 is? The graphic equalizer isn't white like my 220, which I think is like, 1978, so I wonder if its later, like 1980?
Acoustic added the 120 to the line in 1980, and both the 120 and 220 were produced through 1982. The 120 had fewer output transistors and it eliminated the graphic EQ plate and associated black plastic bezel and foam dust filter behind the plate. It's totally subjective, but based on the number of output devices the 120 could be considered the logical successor to the 140/150 and the 220 the logical successor to the 370.
Thanks for that. Cleared things up. The back panel on the 120 is also simpler, with no foot switch jack and different fuse holders. Sounds pretty much identical to the 220. Like I said earlier, I was expecting this to be a quieter amp for practice and rehearsals......Nope...... Thing is LOUD!
