Until today, this puppy. I’m ready to lay $20 this is my old cabinet from way back when. I recognize all the tears and pokes in the cover because I made them. :roflmao:
A ‘72 Traynor Guitar 2x12 cab (but at the time mine had bass EVs. I loved it at the time. It’s now being sold at a KC GC that’s almost 2000 miles from me.

This was my first leap into bass amplification of my own (not mine pictured). Bought it used and it served me well until I started to play with a guitar play sporting a Marshall stack. Then it was off to SVT land.

Probably one of the easiest amps I ever worked on as far as easy servicing and layout. Simple, rock solid design, easy to disassemble chassis, simple point to point wiring. You can tell a lot about an old tube amp based on the weight of the transformer(s) too. That's why the great sounding ones break your back hauling them around...and why smart players have Roadies!

Lol! Alright!
Ironically, it was an SVT that powered my Traynor. It was nice!

Oh man….I should take you up on that, but I won’t, ‘cause…..I sold that cab to them. KC is my home town, and in the course of dealing with my mother in assisted living, I’d be back quite often, and would swoop down on any killer CL deals I’d come across. I kept the head(a YSR-1 Custom Reverb)but at this point I’m just jettisoning stuff I really don’t have time to sell on CL now. The market has crept upwards on 70’s Traynor gear, so I still made a bit of money on their offer. It still had those crap Marsland drivers.

It’s your call. :laugh:The grill cover condition is a spitting image of where I tore mine at the bottom. Same with that rip/poke in the middle. Mine had some tough EVs. I actually called them to ask if that one did, but they weren’t sure.

Nah, I don’t care. That horizontal cut at the bottom is right over the edge of the grill cloth frame, a very likely place for a wear spot/rip on many a cab. That little poke in the middle, I’ve seen plenty of those on all sorts of old speakers.
