Late 70's 4 x 12??
Posted: Sat May 08, 2010 3:17 pm
Hi all - my first post!!!
Have just unearthed my 4 x 12 cab after 10 years in hibernation, and have found your great site here whilst looking in to the dateing of it.
I bought it from a second hand music shop (long since gone!) in Coventry in '92 and was a little tatty but cleaned up pretty well, good and solid and just what was needed to compete with the drummer!
Label on rear says:-
Orange Music
3/4 New Compton St
London
W.C.2
SER.NO.L.S. 7582
It has G12H speakers with Rola Celestian etc etc printed on a gold label on the magnets.
The codes vary between AL30 and BL17 (with T1217 on all), which has lead me to think 1978 from your links to a list to check from - does this sound correct??
Have no intention of selling, particularly as having just acquired a new Gretsch archtop to play through it, but curious to the sort of value, if any, of this old faithful.
Cheers
Crispo
