Used Cab for my Single rec

[msgdman]

Hello all, I have a single rectifier solo head, and was using an avatar cabinet. I found a Mesa 4x12 on Craigslist for $450, and bought it, I am trying to find out anything I can about it. The plate in the back has 4 inputs, 2 on the left are 4 ohm, and the 2 on the left are 8 ohm with the top input plugged. The markings are C2 51297 4x12 4FB CE1-30. 240W

Can anyone tell anything about this cab? What type of speakers, year made etc, if its designed for a rectifier? If not I will crack it open and look inside.

Thanks

We will need a little more detail on the cab. Grill cloth, metal grill, cosed back, open back etc...I've never seen anyone on here refrence serial numbers in relation to cabs.

Mesa's web site lists all of the current cabs with dimensions and pictures. You should be able to id it on that site, if it's not there we's need to see pictures.

450 sounds like a pretty good deal on a clean one like that!

i would guess its a recto cab. check this out for some basic info: http://mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/Guitar%20Cabinets/RECTOcabs/Recto4x12SDst-LG.htm

Its 32x30 and looks just like the specs so I guess it is probably the rectifier cab, I thought it was a good deal too so jumped on it.

Thanks for the help.

Sounds like a Recto cab. Should sound awesome with your Single Rec.
