Vintage marshall cab dating from 1969. The cab is of an all plywood construction and loaded with a matching quad of original 15 ohm 30w watt greenback t1281's 55mhz pre rola speakers (known as the hendrix speakers) and are the most sought after of all vintage celestions.

The code 14 102 014 is printed in white on the cones themselves (showing that they are not recones and they are pulsonics not rolas) with lb *** printed on the speaker chassis, the cab dates cab to Nov 1969.

There speakers sound fantastic - I have played quite a few loud gigs with them and they just sound unreal.

The cab itself has the standard white logo which may or may not be original - I cannot tell but either way it could do with repairing or replacing as there are a couple of cracks on it.

It is also structurally very sound. It has been recovered a while ago - grill cloth is black and white with either gold or silver thread (by the looks of it), and the cab has white piping round the inside and top of the cab and therefore not original spec, the tolex has a fair few scuffs and tears. The castors have also been removed at some point.

The metal handles appear to be original.

Best cab I've ever heard bar none, it really does not get much better than this sonically. Be warned though, it weighs a ton.

So to summarise, scruffy but very solid and sounds superb.

£800

I am will happily restore the cab cosmetically to the original spec for an extra £150.
