1972 Hiwatt cab for sale

I have a 1972 Hiwatt cab for sale. It has Celestion Greenback 25 watt speakers all dated April of 1972.

T1221

DE3
DE5
DE8
DE8

Speakers are in excellent condition and have not been played a lot. The cab is in excellent shape for it's age and very clean.

I have not been able to find any similar cabs to compare it to. I am no sure as to it's true value. But it is easily the best sounding 4 x 12 I've ever heard, including my friend's Basketweave Marshall with pre-Rola 20's.

Cab Plate says - Made in England by Hylight Electronics (Hiwatt Amplification) Limited

AP / SE4123 / 2902

It's a basketweave cab and has the slot-type handles cut directly in the side of the cab - no hardware.

This came from J.T.Riboloff, former head of R& Dat Gibson and Marshall afficianado... he said he believed the speakers were original to the cab.
I have read some blogs that say there were no Hiwatt cabs that came stock this way, I cannot comment on that that, as my knowledge of Hiwatt gear is somewhat limited.

I will get some photos together soon.

Thanks for any help / info/whatever. I am new to this blog.

Best,
Philberto
