They look 100% original to me. Nice example of lower wattage Fanes.

As the good Dr. said, take them out for a spin and let us know how they sound!

Phew..., thanks guys. I find it incredibly nerve wracking buying without trying! :?

I will load them up tomorrow now as we have guests and I would prefer to do things properly (with no beer involved!!) in the daylight. :D

OK guys I finally had chance to load them up yesterday. I had to "persuade" the studs in the cab slightly upwards to get them to drop in properly and I also had to get the soldering iron out the remove the remnants of the previous wires to re-use my push on connectors. :?

WOW.....!! there is now a certain detail and overall tone clarity with the clean that just was not there previously. Breakup is now a lot later than before and I seem to have an incredibly clear bass response.

I have not had chance to play properly at a loud volume as yet (although I have not detected any loss of volume when I turned it up very briefly) or with dirt etc but so far I could not be more delighted. :D :D :D :D and they are not coming out any time soon..!! :lol: :wink:

Thank you all once again for your input.
