Question:
I have what I believe is a 60s era bassman 212 cab. It has one missing speaker and one very nice sounding Oxford 12T6-1. It’s got tiltback but no Fender nameplate and is reasonably scuffed with a couple of small grille tears. Any experts out there with info on how/where to sell and at what ballpark value? Advice on whether to look for another speaker to make it more sellable or sell as-is? Thanks Al

I used to have a webpage bookmarked for company who sold "vintage" speakers. The prices, even for speakers without much demand for them was just nuts though. I guess they did business with people obsessed with restoring amps. It’s kind of cool that your’s has tiltback legs, but I kind of doubt that it’s worth enough to make it worth spending a lot of money restoring it, and finding the correct speaker. Check Ebay finished auctions though. IMO, cabinets like that are too heavy to be worth what it’d cost to safely ship them. You might even have better luck selling the Oxford speaker, and the empty cabinet separately. Pete — So… your corndog has radar. I knew that.
