Title: Cabinet ID help
Post by: Bluebark on August 03, 2025, 04:01:14 pm
Greeting all, new to the forum and hoping someone has run across one of these before. I found this in a small music shop covered in shag rug. After removing the rug, I did find black tolex on the inside along with foil top and sides. There were rusted screws from a tank in the bottom so it’s type of reverb. The thing that is screwing me up is the top front bevel of the sides, there are none. It’s like a Deville in general with the sloping front but has a forward facing faceplate chassis from what I figure. Also the front and back amp chassis covers are just cheap plywood.

Its 26.1/4” x 19.1/2” x 10” at top and 11.1/2” at bottom, the interior width is 24 5/8” W x 18” H. The chassis opening is 24 5/8” x 3 ˝” and it had casters on at one time. It also has steel corners and a ‘60s/’70s type handle. The Mojo cabinet site has a backpanel that is 24 7/16 and goes to a Blackface Pro Reverb. When I look at the Pro Reverb it has a different cabinet style with the beveled top front. I’ll be damned if I can find it on the net so far…been a few days looking. Even gave AI about 10min. of chatting…close but no banana. Any help/ideas greatly appreciated.

It would be nice to find the proper chassis for the cab.

Almost done. Just need to shellac the tweed and attach hardware. I was thinking of building a Dumble clone to put in it but haven't made up my mind yet. I'm pretty sure I'm going to build some kind of amp for it though. Mojo has a backpanel that fits the 24 5/8" interior dim. It's from a Blackface Pro Reverb.

That Fender Badge with "Made in the USA" reminds me of my 74 Pro Reverb

I haven't been to figure it out. It basically looks like a DeVille but there clearly was an amp in it that hung horizontally. It has the width dimensions of a Pro Reverb but the front top/sides are not beveled. This really sets my OCD off...not knowing the origin of this cab.
