1971 Marshall 8x10 model 1990 checkerboard cabinet + castor wheels + dust cover

Very rare and cool as @!%$#, including the original and rare Marshall Homa brass Caster wheels and gigantuous original dust cover!!
 
This is one of the coolest cabinets to haul around the country and hit the stages with. It is surprisingly light (well, compared to a refrigerator) but you would have more trouble and less groupies around lifting a Fender Twin onto the podium I can tell you that much!
 
It has the original grillcloth, tolex, handles, 8 x Celestion 10inch 7442 speakers with original NIB4BG cones, wiring, serial tags, Homa brass Caster wheels (!!) and gigantuous dust cover...
 
Oh, yes: it just sounds amazing as it looks...
 
The Marshall 8x10 cabinets typically fell into two main variations based on their design, size, and intended use. 
 
These cabinets are renowned for providing a punchy bass and articulate treble, favored by artists like Yes and often paired with 50Watt or 100Watt heads.
 
Two main types of Marshall 8x10s are:
 
1. Model 1990 (the one for sale): a "Thin" or "Narrow" style 120W 8x10 Cabinet from the late 60's and early 70's. Typically closed-back with a massive, focused sound, often deemed a unique alternative to the standard 4x12.
 
* Design: These are late 60's or early 70's models, designed to be narrower - roughly matching the width of a small-box 50Watt Lead or Tremolo head.
* Features: The earliest ones in 1968 had Pinstripe grillcloth, followed by Basketweave in the late 60's and checkerboard in the early 70's, 8 x 10inch Celestion speakers (greenbacks in the early part of the decade, silver Celestion 7442's after that and finally black Celestion 7442's.
* Usage: These are highly sought after for their punchy, "three-dimensional" sound and are often associated with touring bands from that era, such as Yes. 
 
 
2. Model 2034: a Full-Width 120W Bass Style 8x10 Cabinet from the early-late 70's
 
* Design: Early 70's with a larger, full-width cabinet that matched the dimensions of a standard Marshall 100Watt head, providing a much larger footprint. 
* Features: Checkerboard grillcloth and 8 x 10" silver or black Celestion 7442's. 
* Usage: Often constructed to accommodate more bass frequencies, these were sometimes used by bassists or guitarists seeking maximum low-end punch. Although originally designed for bass, they were frequently used for guitar, sometimes featuring particle board back panels in later 70s iterations to cut costs.
