If you put the 140 on top of the Acoustic 104 cab, then you'd have a 144 (at least if they were to coin it, which I don't think they did) . The 140 was the higher powered follow-up to the 150B, which differed from the 150. The 150 has onboard reverb and tremolo on the second channel, whereas the 150B (and it's successor the 140) had two identical channels.[and apparently from the research i've done, this acoustic 140 amp is the exact same thing as the acoustic 154 guitar amp, no matter, i would use my b5r for when i play bass and use the acoustic amp for when i play guitar, utilizing the same cab for both]
The 150B was a first generation product only. I have a first generation 150 and my band uses a 150B for vocals in band practice. The first generation 150 and 150B differ from the second generation 150 and 140 in their power ratings. The first generation products were rated at 110W and the second generation products were rated at 125W.
I guess you can count me in now! 
I have spent the past few months messing around on bothe the b200 combo and the b200h w/ the stack and have finally given in and gotten the combo as my main rig and even got the 410 cab for occasional use w/ the combo. I have to say no other amp has sounded so good w/ my Geddy Jazz, it just puts out such a crunchy, vintage growl that no other amps deliver. My best purchase to date!

this is an old shot ...
my 3 year old son , wanting to slap on my P-Bass !!
{ take a close look at the bottom of the cab , and you'll see the power amp section ...}

Wow, I didn't know about the power difference. I have both the 140 and the 150 from the second generation and I love em!
oh and btw, if anyone is interested i'm willing to sell the working speakers that are in the cab, they're all original except for one, but its of the same design and looks to have been replaced back before they stopped making that kind of speaker. i KNOW one is blown because some how the entire cone is GONE, no rips, no tears... its completely GONE. the one next to it works but it buzzes and pops and sounds terrible, but theres four left, three original and one obviously replaced.
i plan on replacing them all with 6 - jensen MOD 10-50 50w speakers but i have no idea what ohms i should get the speakers in [availiable in 4/8/16/32 ohms] or how i would wire them to get the cab as close to 4 ohms as possible... i hear 5.3 is as close as i can get but i wouldn't know which to set series and which to set parallel.
[and apparently from the research i've done, this acoustic 140 amp is the exact same thing as the acoustic 154 guitar amp, no matter, i would use my b5r for when i play bass and use the acoustic amp for when i play guitar, utilizing the same cab for both
If you're at 5.3 ohms on the cab, you'll be fine running an amp thats rated for 4 ohms. You only need to worry if the impedance drops BELOW the rating.
There was a guy on the Acoustic forum who wanted to turn his 104 into a full on bass cab so he loaded in the Jensen Mods. I never heard back from him so I cant tell you how they worked out but I'll PM you with a link to a place where I've seen them at a great prices (lowest I've found on the web). I"m also interested in buying the original speakers because I've got two that are blown in my cab.
Anyone know the specs or how to find out? Or a vintage or vintage reissue source for the 1976 Eminence 10" speakers?
Tone getting priority over wattage.
Thankx!!

I'm back. Can someone explain to me what this post mean? I don't understand. I'm not electronic saavy. I only know how to plug a head into a cab and plug a bass in. I don't know too much about the history of amps.
it's a joke...
Oh, okay! I was trying to figure this out for the longest! Man I feel so silly!
Can I be a member emeritus?
I don't currently have any Acoustic products, but I have long been a fan of their gear.
My main rig back in the day was an Acoustic B4 on top of an Acoustic TC-210p on top of a Randall 2x15 cab. I'd run the internal power amp in the TC-210p off of the effects send from the B4. And send the full power main output of the B4 to the Randall. Theoretically I could get 760 Watts out of the rig, running that way.
All I know is: It was SERIOUS. And it sounded good.
And my first real pro-quality amp was a 360, back in about 1982.

But its a geetar amp.
Saving my dough for the 360/361 reissue if they ever release the damn thing.
It'll be released in 3 months.

Good move -- enjoy the heck outta that SOUND!!!
close-up of the acoustic section of my rig. 360/361, 320/408, 120/215B, 370.
not pictured is the acoustic 404 6x12 i just picked up for 200 bucks. it's in almost mint condition! if played with enough treble so as not to damage the speakers (this was actually a guitar cab) it sounds great!
i'm also having a very good condition 201 cab sent to me soon, and picking up a 270 head to match next weekend!
