So…an orphan 361 turned up locally that was missing a power amp. Luckily I have a few spares.

Long time no see. Hope everyone is doing well. Getting reinstalled in the new house. Plus side, its very large. Down side, its on the second floor (2x stairs). The 402 and 105 I managed to get there when removing the speakers. The 408 was sold many months ago. The 406 and 301 will probably get sold too. Or maybe I'll store the 406 in the garage without speakers. The 201 I'm still undecided. I have a lovely pair of E130 speakers for them.

StingRay 85, NICE COLLECTION!!! I was just lucky enough to buy a Acoustic 301cab in really nice shape, it is a dead match for my 301 cab but in better shape. I have arranged to pick it up tomorrow! Well now I have to find a outside rock gig, it will be like the 70's again playing my 370 and 2-301 cabs.
I also see that you are also addicted to JBL 15's, I ran the gambit in the 60's and 70's and still have a Ampeg 2x15 loaded with K's or E's 140's and a pair of the original JBL Caberets, I can never remember the spelling!!! Loaded with of course 140's. The last time that used them was with my SWR Goliath 6X10 crossed over around 160 cycles, it was marvelous!
Good luck with the new diggs, as ELP sang once, Ohhh what a lucky man he was!!

Thanks SP, I was happy to find one 371 setup and now I'm ecstatic to have my old rig back and these are the same series that I had when I was in my early 20's!! Plus a pair of Nash PB-57's to top it off!

After downsizing stuff after retirement…I realized I don't have a vehicle big enough to take my 371 amp anywhere…
It was a sad moment.

Has anyone found a source for the tiny chrome corners on these older ACC's? I would like to change out my old original reliced, or just plain rusty! We need a Flip Top like site for Acoustics. I have seen the DA slider knobs and control knobs, somewhere! You always see them until you need them!

I need to get corners for my 370, and the rivets/nails to install them! Would love to find a proper source. Possibly also a source for tolex down the line, not sure if a proper match is available.

Best place to get the original style knobs for the 370?

That's all I need to do on mine.

That I can help with. There's pretty much exact matches on Newark, I'd have to look up the model number again, only difference I can tell is it has allen head and two set screws, not flatheads.

For some fifty years my first consideration in buying a vehicle was that I had to be able to carry my gear to a show. And even now my car is a Mini-Cooper Countryman the larger 4 wheel drive, and it's the sports model with a turbo!

I had the same requirements. But we had two vehicles, the pickup truck just sat there in the driveway for 2 years, not being used…
Sold the truck…then realized…:meh:

We have a Chevy Trax, it kinda small. It won't even hold 2 210 MarkBass cabs in the hatch area. I have to use the back seat. And the worst thing about it…the seats don't fold flat in the hatch area…who designed that!
Edit: I just googled it…maybe I'm doing it wrong…

I learned that even with a cap, my gear was not happy, kind of like my grandma who was either to hot or to cold! I liked vans better BUT, that also meant that it was my job to carry the P.A., guitar amps and everything bulky!

The 301 cab I bought new in 1973 was transported many times in the backseat of my 2 door, 1965 Buick Special.
IMO, the 301 cab is not that bad moving around.

Actually, it's not, it just gets tricky with the second cab! That's why I drove a 72 Dodge Maxi-van with a slightly hot V8, A 3/4 ton rear end and commercial 6 ply tires! Yup, I carried everyone's gear except the drum kit! After 10 years I down sized to a SUV that fit my equipment perfectly but sad to say no one elses! LOL!
