Thread Starter | Vintage Marshall Cab? Need Help.. I have a friend who picked up a Marshall Cab at a road show a few years back. Anyway, it is an 8 Ohm Cab with a Brown/Grey Grill cover. 2 - 12 inch Speakers. Basically looks like a mini 4x12 slanted cab. SN# is 1098 According to Marshall info, this may predate 1969? Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

| That is why I also linked the Plexipalace site. Those guys can probably help out. As the guys say, post a pic. |

| Dating cabs by serial # alone is tough. But there are several era indicating features you can use to judge. A plywood rear panel, for example indicates pre '72. A better method is to date the speakers. Celestions will have a date code stamped on the frame. Typically two letters followed by two numbers. Indicating the week and day. Of course, it wouldn't be any fun if the codes didn't change over time, so ....they do. A great resource is Doyle's History of Marshall book. There's a whole chapter on celestion and dating them. george |

| I saw a 2x12 vintage marshall cab, the speakers are one over the other (vertical) for sale for 490$ CAD, I don't know how it sounds but it looks pretty cool. The back of the speakers is green but there's nothing written on them... Here's some pic. How do you think it sounds? I saw weezer with a big marshall cab, looks like an 810...anybody knows what this cab is? |
