More than likely you just need to solder the input socket. If there is any speaker damage, this will become apparent after the fact. Try not to use your tube amp with it until you do this. It is extremely unwise to have a tube amp running without having a working speaker box attached to it. Basically you will fry the amps output transformer.

Get it checked. I am a simple creature- greenbacks or V30's are fine for me. I use Marshalls simply because I have always used them and they work. I often buy empty cabs and buy new speakers for them. I am sure there are a bunch of other cabs they work fine. You CAN overthink this though. :-) Quote:

I don't know how much you know. With very basic electronics knowledge (and the right parts/tools) it is possible to fix this in about an hour (or less) but if you've never done any electronics work before- it is not going to be practical for me to step you through it. | |
