Hey guys, I gotta a Marshall cab that I think is vintage but I'm not sure. It has Gold piping aroung the top and bottom (underneath). Around where the casters go is metal (no casters) Plastic handles, and a single mono input. The only thing that it says around the input is Made in England serial # 19426 on a small black rectangle piece of plastic. The speakers say:
Modal # G12M
power capcity 25 watts
impedance 16 ohms
Bass res 75hz
Rola Celestion LTD
Ipswich Suffolk
2 of the speakers say GH16X
1 says BH16X
last 1 says FG22 and all have t1221 on them. I went to celestions web site and I dated them all to '74 and '75 but I'm not sure because of the X after 3 of the speakers (celestion says nothing about what the X stands For) Please help cus I wanna ell this but I'm sure what its worth.
Thanks

mid 70's cab most likely
 
Re: HELP How old is my Marshall Cab?

The book, "The History Of Marshall" by Michael Doyle has a whole section on dating Celestion loudspeakers. Based on this,
GH16 = 16 June 1975
BH16 = 16 February 1975
FG22 = 22 May 1974

The "T" number is probably of little help in dating either the speakers or the cab. According to the same book, t1221 matches G12H and M drivers first introduced 6th May, 1966
