help me please identify this cabinet
« on: February 07, 2011, 06:03:48 pm »
I think this may be a Sonic I-40 cabinet?

measurements approx 24x24x15

would I be correct in thinking that?


thank you for all of your help

Can you pull the grill cover off it? Is the cabinet sealed so that the only access from the front? Judging from the photo, I would wager it's a 115M or 115V from the early 1970s. See photo of my 115V below.

The only access to the inside is from the front; the back is sealed. Mine only has one jack; later ones had two. The Sonic cabs open up from the back, I believe.

I think CLD is right, and a picture of the back would settle it. I believe the grill cloth is incorrect for an I40 cab. Based on the picture, IMO it's a 115S, 155M, or 115V depending on what it's loaded with.

If you decide to pass on it, let me know. a pair of Sunn 115's are on my wish list!  :wink:

Or a 115S. All the same cabinet, with different drivers.

It is  in fact a 115S

haven't plugged it in yet, but it has the original grill cloth, tolex and the handle, feet and casters.

thanks for your help!
