At the end of last year I went up north and rescued this 4x15 cabinet. I had never seen the speakers before so I made an offer and went up to grab it. I knew there was going to be some hidden damage. These things were always used and abused. Guys were always trying to blow them up with high wattage modern bass amps so you're lucky if you can find one with all four drivers intact, let alone find one at all. This one has some super rare 15" Celestion speakers in it. T2380's which don't show up anywhere. My best guess is that these were made for Marshall and they were the direct predecessor to the G15/100 which debuted in 1977 to the best of my knowledge. Two of the speakers had date codes from Sept 1975 and Feb 1976.
Originally it didn't look too bad, but I knew that stain on the cloth indicated flood damage.
...and this complete nonsense with the insulation. This was going to have to come out and the integrity of the cab needed to be checked before even plugging it in.
