Earth Sunn 1x18 bass cabinet

[komatiite]

I've been totting this thing around for years and am finally at the point where I'd like to try and trace it's history. I took it apart today to figure out what speaker it had in it. It's a ported cab (at the bottom) with old Sunn gray cloth grill with Sunn logo and the handles on each side are a heavy cast material that says 'Earth' on each side. The only data I can find on the actually 18" speaker is a sticker that reads '18011'.

Can anyone help me out with dating this thing. etc.? I am either gonna be keeping it and incorporating it into my live rig or selling it.

thanks.

At a glance, it appears to be a Sunn 118S, from the seventies. Can you get a better picture of the port, the back, and  post the dimensions?

[komatiite]

I will have to get dimensions tomorrow. It was 80 here yesterday and now it's snowing.

It actually says 'Earth' on the handles. Here are the pictures you were looking for:

And is the cabinet 30"x30"?

How deep is the cabinet? It doesn't look deep enough to be a Sunn. It looks closer to an Acoustic to me, especially the port arrangement.

 I am not at all familiar with the Earth lineup. I just remember seeing bands use them in the early 70's. For some reason I want to say Dick Wagner with Frost used them....but those days are rough...kinda like the cabinet.

I just measured the cabinet. It's 30"x15"x30" (LxWxH).

[Isaac]

That sounds right for a 118S to me. Additionally, the pic appears to show a tapered port, which the Sunns had. I don't know that Earth ever made a cabinet like that.

So what is something like this worth in this condition etc?

So what is something like this worth in this condition etc?

The only correct answer is "whatever the buyer is willing to pay".

There is no objective price on used equipment.
