That would be great Isaac! You can email me directly for a quicker response if/when it gets to that point.

I did it. I bought Guest's Sunn 2x15 cabinet. As I suspected, it was a 200S cabinet, apparently with the original JBL D140 drivers. Not mint, but in pretty good shape. Now I have to get my 200S in top shape. I think I'm getting some microphonics, and it sounds off. I was getting this with another cabinet, though, so it's not the 200S cabinet.

Even my wife says the complete 200S amp looks really good, in an old-school way.

Hey Congrats Isaac! I miss my old 200S cabinet. They sure put out the volume and those D140's sound great!

You probably have some caps in need of replacement in your 200S. Electrolytics for sure if they are original, and maybe some coupling caps too. I've completely rebuilt and modified my 200s for a bit more bass response. You're welcome to try it if you want to cart the cabinet up here to Hillsboro! I have a custom 1x15 cabinet with a JBL E140 and an SVT head with a 8x10 style cabinet, but with 4 10's and 1 15 in it. I also have a 2000S that is completely original. You could try them also if you were able to make it up this way. If you want to hook up, then email me privately as I only check this board every so often.

No rush. I'm going down to Jackson County next week, and I'm not sure when I'll be back, so I won't have time to go north until the 20th, at the earliest, perhaps not until the 26th.

By the way, do any of you Portland-area folks know my old friend Tobaj?

I hope you enjoy the cab Issac!  It was taking up a lot of room...but it sure sounded great when I took it out.  I'd suggest trying JJ KT88's for power tubes in your head.  Check the eurotubes website.  Bob Pletka has always given me good service, and you heard the kt88's in the model t you tried.  They really compliment the d-140 with an open top end, and lots of headroom.  BTW Issac has a nice cd, with an interlude for unaccompanied bass: Fantasy in E major.

I'll second the JJ KT88's recoomendation in a Sunn. I have them in my 200S I refurbished and modded, and I used them in the old '67 200S that I sold to get an SVT about 10 years ago. Great match for a Sunn and they are reliable and well made tubes. I haven't dealt with Bob at Eurotubes yet, but I've heard good stuff about him, and he's local too, which is a bonus.

I'll definitely give him a look, once I get my finances back in order. Between my daughter getting married and buying too many toys, I'm in as bit of a pinch at the moment.

thanks Issac, that's exactly what I am looking for.  Shipping could be a bit high, but it is in good shape.  Hope the 200s cab is working out!!

Isaac, if you're ever able to get up here in the portland area to jam and compare equipment with that 200S cab sometime, let me know ahead of time, and I can probably set up something to test the freq response of your cabinet and introduce you to someone you may want to meet. Gotta remain mysterious for now though.

A mystery, eh? Okay. Currently, I'm working Friday-Sunday, but my schedule changes in November, and I'll be working Thursday-Saturday and every other Wednesday. When is a good time for you?

Well right now I'm unemployed, looking for work, and selling computers to make ends meet. So I'm flexible as far as schedule goes, but that may change if I get a job. Wednesday nights i go to a blues jam in portland.
