I've just picked up what I beleive to be a 64-66 blackface Tremolux cabinet (only). The size (28" wide) and everyting else looks right, but it has a baffle board for a single 12" instead of 2-10" The 12" is also mounted to a support ring attached to the front baffle and the baffle has a rectangular port. The speaker in the cab is an obvious non-original PAS MV1280, so no clues there. When the guy first called me about it I thought it was a Showman 12" cab, but when he showed up it was too small. The 12" baffle if not original is an older change-out. Is there anything else that had that size cab but a 12" speaker?

It sounds like someone converted a Tremolux cab from a pair of 10's to a single 12-inch tone ring configuration. The only sealed 1 x 12 enclosure offered during the blackface era was the Showman 12 but that cab measured 32"W x 21"H x 11½"D. It wasn't uncommon for dealers to perform such conversions at a customer's request -- decades ago I had a '67 Bassman cab (big box) that had been re-worked to a 4 x 12 layout by the store that sold it.
