As always, many thanks Doctor!

I have been playing through a slant-front 80's head that someone at my space is nice enough to let me use, but I'm not looking to pay any money for that sound.

I will be continuing my search for a local Hylight cabinet that is "reasonably" priced...

Looked inside this one, but I ran into a cash shortfall - ported, front-loaded cabinet, interior is in great condition: https://reverb.com/item/2939148-hiwatt-4x12-cabinet-1970s-black I could not date the speakers bc did not have sticker and were black with a serial printed out in white ink. Researc...

Thanks guys, good point about the modifications and scratches, I always forget about that.

Makes me wonder if it's even an original enclosure...

Hi there,

My baby is getting dinged in the practice space I share and I need to purchase a solid flight case for her.

If you can recommend any reputable dealers on EBay or have one that you want to sell, please get in touch, I am based in the U.S. east coast.

Thanks!!

I noticed there were no pictures of the back of the speakers: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Hiwatt-100-watt-4x12-Guitar-Speaker-Cabinet-with-Fane-Speakers-SE4123-/131400562740?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e98157834 And then I noticed that there are no bids on the item. - still on the search

I know that the Sterling Imports means that these were made in modesto and do not come with Fanes, but I can't find any similar cabs online as a price guide Seller wants 800, but without Fanes and not technically being a Hylight-era product, I think a more reasonable price is 500. What do you think ...

Yes, the DR103's I have looked at recently were heavily modded Biacrowns for a lot of $$, some for non-functional units...

Very awesome post, you guys have everything up here on these boards!

Thanks!

Yeah that is some heavy-duty equipment. Congrats!

Thanks a lot! Hoping to locate a proper Fane-powered cabinet soon!

Wow, cool amp, thanks for the pictures!

Hey Shatki,

Thanks for the tip, I am based in the states, but good news is I picked up a nice 78 DR103, but maybe a field trip to Denmark is needed as well

Pretty excited to have picked up this 1978 head, it's my first Hiwatt purchase, I will update with better pictures and some shots of the guts. PT was replaced, but OT is Partridge -- I will open her up and check for any mods or funny business and report back. I can only hope that this was previously...

Yes, I got the serial and sure enough Mark has it on his page -- it is a newer cabinet with celestions.

Hi I was reading an ad for an SE4123C 4x12 cabinet, is there a way of dating without a serial #?

Thanks!
