The horns and one of the 6" do not work but the 18" are as sweet as a nut
I do not want to butcher the cabinets but they are to large a weighty for myself.
Just do not understand the cab rating at 200 watts ????????????

Cheers bobby Thanks for your interest and reply

Made in a different era. The 200watts is likely the culmunative total of the speakers in each cab. When bands like Tull were supplying their own PA, Marshall cabs would have only been 120watts with 4 green backs per cab. These were likely used solely for vocals and some folk'y instruments.

Above : Windsor Jazz Festival 1967 at Balloon Meadow with Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac on stage. This was the first time that a kilowatt of audio had been produced by an open air PA system. Some of the audience's ears are still ringing!

Windsor also created another first for Charlie. He ended up in court for breach of the peace due to the effect of the sound level on local inhabitants. Charlie had been perfectly willing to turn the PA down or off at the request of a Police Inspector but he pointed out that if the sound went off, the Police would have a riot to deal with rather than a noise nuisance. The Festival continued but they 'felt his collar' anyway. Charlie was defended in court by the distinguished barrister Quintin Hogg MP who later became the Lord Chancellor. The case was dismissed in court.

There were some fantastic acts on the bill at this festival. Some were in their infancy and appeared way down the bill


Found on this site.

Note the pa was only 1000watts for a outdoor festival. And there are 6 speaker cabs for the pa.
Different times mate

I have these cabs. One of the horns and both mids are good if you are interested in drivers. Located near Chicago. Probably not worth shipping to UK
