Well, I give the seller credit for not scrimping on the pictures :roll: .

Some of the cabs highlighted in the vintage pics look square to me (as in, 4x12's rather than 2x15's). But, maybe these really were on tour with M.B.. Wonder why two different stencils, though. And, who chopped the back panels and shoved all the carpet padding in there?

Obviously, the speakers aren't original to the cabs. Guess it'll be interesting to see what the market decides these are worth.

P.S. My DR201 was rumored to have been on tour with the Moody Blues, too. It's got a "Rock Bottom Leasing" sticker and was obtained in a lot that had "Moody Blues" and "Justin" stenciling. Hard to prove provenance on that kind of stuff.
...Hey! I played that song when it was new...

I wondered if anyone else noticed that most of the cabs pictured on stage were in fact 4x12's on their sides, not the 2x15's.

no serial tags, no badges, no fanes...............just some seriously beat up boxes.

The backs had a large port at the bottom, those look unaltered to me. But the are missing the baffle at the bottom.

I wouldn't mind snagging those D140Fs, though. 8)
