Just to update you after a thunk...

Of course, you're quite right. The cab looks like a different era altogether and I doubt if it ever housed blues. I really am not a Voxer (bass player, remember Smile ) but my guess is that the cab once held some form of 10" drivers and someone shoehorned in the G12 Rolas. Back to your head...

The 12AU7 is not the phase inverter (it often is in some amps, but not yours. The PI is a 12AX7) - your 12AU7 is handling the trem circuit return. You don't really need to know that, any more than I obviously don't Laughing

The presence of the GZ34 rectifier dates it to 60s rather than 70s production. Like I say, there are a load of really good websites for the Vox and even a half-arsed search armed with the info you have should narrow the manuf date down. If you like, tell me the serial # and I'll have a rummage.

Nearly forgot to update you chaps with what happened:

The amp head sold for £668.56 to a guy in Madrid, Spain.

The speaker cab went for £305.55 to a chap in Birmingham.

So, best part of a 1000 quid for the pair (minus eBay fees). Not bad.

Absolutely not bad, glw. A good price on the head (I did say worldwide was a good idea - smug grin) and a totally excellent price on the cab. Really, I wouldn't have expected more than £150-200 on the cab. Cheapskate me; I would've lost interest well before £100.

You done good, kid Smile
