WTB 70's era Fanes

Post by Biller »

Hi All

I am looking to buy (2) Fanes for my 100 watt JP Hiwatt 212 Combo. Of course the cab will be coming from Jeff and I am about 2 weeks from finishing my chassis.

Can you spare a couple from your vault Dave? :lol:

Thanks
Bill

Should he then put a 50W (504 setup) in a 2x12?

Thanks for the reminder about power guys. However, I only plan to use (2) of the EL34's or 4x6V6's to push the (2) Fanes I need in the Cab. When ever I plan to use the 4xEL34's I have another 212 Hiwatt style extension cab loaded with Weber FC12's that I will jack into along with the combo speakers.

thanks

ok, that makes sense. If you have one 2x12 with FC12's, maybe you should consider some higher powered celestions? Like Jimmy???? Just a thought.....

Thats a good thought Doc, I do have a couple of vintage G12H's , but I dont have any Fanes. Hopefully, one of the forum members will sell to me
