Pictures Brotherman Todd Simpson Requested, Marshall Cab Options

[Mudbone]

These are pictures of a Marshall JCM 800 1960a cab I just picked up the other day. Todd, you wanted to see 'em, and here they are

Notice in one picture there is a baffle that runs down the middle of the cab. That is not original, I removed it and replaced it with a 2x4 that acts as a reinforcement post. The cab was also wired in stereo, that was also reversed, and now it runs at 16ohms mono.

I couldn't date the cab by Marshalls serial number, so I did it by the markings on the Celestion speakers. According to the chart on the Celestion website, the speakers were manufactured February, 1985, so I think its safe to assume the cab was made sometime around then.The marking that indicates the speaker manufacture date is stamped on the speaker chassis, which is visible in one of the pictures below.

Other than the fact that the tolex is a little rough and it smells like cigarettes and cheap air freshener, its a great cab that sounds amazing. I was quite fortunate to stumble across this cab for only $250.

Now that I know that this cab was made in the 80's, I'm just curious how many cheesy 80's hairy metal songs have been played through it
