Oldie 4x12 w/ Goodmans

This one looks like it's been through the ringer a couple of times. Interior construction is a bit different than my '75 and it's not painted.

Some of the older ones weren't painted on the inside.

I like the Goodmans. Those of you coming to the Convention can hear mine Soon!

That grille looks good because it was redone. They did a nasty job with all the white goop smeared around the baffle. Makes me wonder if they used latex sealer to stop rattles??????

Or maybe, whoever did the grill replacement job hacked up the battens and gooped them up to "fix" the cab :( .

That's the seller who had the nice DR504 w/ flight case a week or so ago. Who ended up with that one, anyway??? I was traveling and missed the end of the auction :x .

somebody got it for $2100. Not too bad...it did have an unoriginal hole in the chassis.
The nice halfstack went dirt cheap. I missed it because of my fried modem!

You mean the really nice "sat in a closet for 30 years" halfstack? :(

no the one on ebay.

The one that sat in the closet is indeed nice but overpriced.
