Great list !!!!

I can think of only the Mode Four cabs that got missed.

I have a 4x12 with 100 watt Celestion speakers, angled. I know they made one that is also 240 watts I think ?

MF400A & B
MF240A & B

Not really sure if I'm right with these models so take it with a grain of salt please.

Nice list @Chrome. I just found the same list in a 2013 post on Musicians Roadhouse (same title too!).

I don't know anything about the other cabs, but this for the 1912 is incomplete and inaccurate. :shrug:

All standard 1912 cabs originally came with an 8 ohm Celestion G12B-150, the same that comes with the JVM215C.
I don't think the G12B can be had outside of these two products.
I have seen a 1912V (discontinued) advertised at Andertons that came with a V30.
There was also a 1912G (Greenback).

The JCM900 4101 combo seems to be the amp the 1912 was supposed to compliment.

Mine has the barcode sticker on the back and says it was made in 2005.

Just for future updates :h5:

Yes that’s where I found it. Was searching some history on a cab a friend owns.

Not a bad start, well worth plumping out with more detail and then getting it made a sticky, I'll add a bit (ideally get Bygone Tones to help and then combine with the Marstran speaker database).:)

1935A and 1935B Bass 4x12 cabs, introduced 1967 (AFAIK) until late 70s (again AFAIK), initially narrow metal handles, pinstripe and Goodmans speakers, then Celestion G12M25w 55Hz (medium bass) T1511 speakers then basketweave then large check, small check and then black cloth. Later G12-65 bass cones and finally G12-80 bass cones.

Regarding the 1960 cabs they started with 15w Alnico (hence your 60w rating) which then became T1221 G12M20w 75Hz in 65/66 and then 1221 G12M25w 75Hz etc.

You mention ratings and speakers in some sections and not others, similarly castor cups/trays/sliders, castor types - a lot of work!

Model 1984 seems to be missing. First 4x12 cab they ever made. Not sure on exact dates, pleximaster will know, but maybe 1963 to 1964.

Then model 1984 was a 4x15 in 1970 / 1971 - not sure how long production lasted of that.

Then it was a bass 4x12 in the late 70's with T1886 model speakers.

I've got a 4x12 at 140W from around 1980 with 4 G12L speakers, and a missing backplate to identify the cab model.
