Help me to ID this sunn cabinet
« on: April 14, 2014, 11:30:39 am »
Hello Guys!

Is this could be a Sunn cabinet or maybe something else? The seller told me that it's a Fender Pyramid, but i'm quiter sure that he's wrong.
I just saw this topic http://vintageamps.com/plexiboard/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=102856&start=15 and this one looks close, but the inner parts are not matching exactly and the handle is different too.

Any tips?

Thanks!

Sunn made three cabinets with a V-shaped baffle like that: the 610S, 612S and 415S. That doesn't look quite like any of them.

The 610S, IIRC, had a shallower V in its baffle than the 612S. Dimensions were standard Sunn tall cabinet dimensions, 24" wide, 40" high (42" including casters) and 15" deep.

This cabinet looks most similar to the 612S. 612S dimensions were the same as for the 610S, but the baffle V was deeper. This one, of course, doesn't appear to have six cutouts. Could the baffles have been replaced to make it a 4x12 cabinet? Also, I remember the handles being flush mount strap handles rather than the recessed handles this cab has.

The 415S was a larger cabinet. I think it was 26" wide, but I'm not sure.

Questions: what are the dimensions of this cabinet? What does the grill look like?

I'll ask the seller about the dimensions, but the grill looks like this, i'm quiter sure that it's not the original.

What to you think about the back of the cabinet, the two jacks?

Is it just me or do the metal corners just seem like they're not Sunn at all?

This could be a cabinet made by Webb's Music in Antioch CA in the late 60's.  The grill cloth looks like what he was using back then.  I had a Webb 2-15 cabinet with a large port at the bottom front years ago. It came with Altec's in it.  Webb made a lot cabinets back in the day.  Some even showed up at Woodstock!  Webb's would make anything you wanted in house with a quick turn around.

Webb's has been out of business for many years.

I don't know about the corners, but Sunn usually added pieces around the inside front to give the cabinets a beefier appearance. This cab doesn't have that.

I believe for the metal corners that SUNN corners would have a 5/16" radius whereas others had a 3/8" radius.

I think it's probably a DIY project loosely based on the Sunn V baffle designs.
