Here are links to page #2 and #3 of the thread on the EV 10” speakers. The thread is four pages with over 150 posts. It’s quite extensive. I found the most informative pages to be #2 and #3. I think the most extensive info is on page three but the posts at the end of page two are informative too...

The 10” EV in the 4x10 is an EVM-10 (no “L”, no “M”). There’s an extensive thread about these 10” EV’s on the gearpage. (I’ll find the link and post it). It seems there’s been a few different iterations of it. From what I read the specs on the EVM-10M and the EVM-10 are the same. Supposedly...

Doug the older Mesa 4x12’s had the “Boogie” logo plate. The newer had the “Mesa Boogie” logo plate. If memory serves me correct the “Boogie” logo plates were screwed on like the one in your pic. The “Mesa Boogie” logo plates were glued on. I’ve owned both the older and newer 4x12’s with their...

Fwiw the indicator of an older vs newer metal grille half back cab is the handle. Earlier cabs had a handle that was sort of rectangular albeit with rounded edges. The handle was silver and black in color and had a “Mesa” label on it. The newer cabs had the all black round handle (which were way...

Since we’ve slightly veered off the “black shadow” moniker :). I’ve also seen Celestion G12-65’s in the top half of a Mesa Metal Grille 4x12. Also the Celestion “Classic Lead 80” which from what I understand is pretty much the same as the C90 vs similarity to the Celestion G12-80. Supposedly...

I’ve never seen a Celestion G12S-50 in a Mesa cab but have seen the G12-80 (which I believe was the precursor to the C90) in some Mesa vertical metal grille 4x12’s from the 80’s/ 90’s. I’ll have to check to be sure but Celestion made a G10S-50 which Mesa used. (Note: it’s a 10” speaker; saying...

A vertical 2x12? Unfortunately probably not. I have one and could measure it up for the specs to make one but it’d be an expensive venture. I wouldn’t be able to reproduce the grill either.

No intent to bust your chops here Doug, but it might be worth noting for all that “Black Shadow” is a Mesa “brand name” they used on other speakers too including EV12L’s. You’re likely referring to the Celestion C90 as that seems to have become the speaker most associated with “Black Shadow”...

I’ve never seen a bottom (vertical metal grille) 2x12 cab before. That’s pretty cool.

Sheesh! That sucks Andy. $350 may not be much but it ain’t chump change either.

Duh, I missed the “tweed” label on the front plate. Sorry about that. Yup it’s a Simul.

From the size of the PT it looks like a 60 (….but looks can be deceiving)

GAS can be a difficult “disease” from which to recover. ;) I had two full 4x12 stacks at one time. Those beasts sounded glorious but were heavy. Pretty sure all were loaded with EV’s and MS-12’s. It’s been awhile so that might not be accurate but those two are my favorite speakers. That...

I’ve never seen a bottom cab (straight sides) for a vertical metal grill 2x12 like his. Pretty sure they don’t exists. However there are plenty of vertical metal grill 4x12 bottom cabs out there, not that that helps quad48uF

Yeah a combo with an EV12L speaker comes in around 85lbs Kent where are you located?

If you have a mirror on an extension like an auto mechanic uses….. put it under the larger transformer and see what the numbers on the bottom say. If you see a 105 in there it’s an original IIC+. If you see a 100 it’s a IIC that was upgraded to a C+ If you take off the back panel you could...

You don't see bottom cabs too often.

I’d add “Seriously?!!” Nothing wrong with Doug and/ or Doug’s Tubes. “mars2k” was probably a troll. He joined the board on 3/14/22 made the same post in four places then left never to be seen again. His total time on the board was 1 hour

Doesn't mean a MkI or MkIIA "Big Brother" chassis couldn't be put into a long head headshell provided the mounting hole spacing is correct. I've made more than a few long head (aka widebody) headshells that a MkIIA fit into quite "comfortably". ;-)

Post some measurements and I can tell you. Inside width Inside Height Inside depth (bottom and top) Mounting Screw spacing (L-R and Back to Front - measure the screws from center of screw to center of screw)
