original Black back Celestions alone could net you close to that much,maybe more.

i think that's a GREAT deal!!!
i was lucky to find my greenback'd 4x12 for $450, but old celestion-loaded orange cabs are rare on this side of the pond. an even more in mexico!
it's quite beat, but i like 'em like that! but careful, they weight about 20% more than a marshall cab!
i have since changed the grille to a correct one and removed those casters that kept bending. (now i don't take it outta my music room... *sigh*)
RUN and get it!!!
Pat.
ps: my '76 marshall cab has blackbacks and i LOVE them!!! it's a DEAL!!!

I don't know...cabinets, to me, always seem to be overpriced. I would pay $500 max for that, probably not $750.

The Orange cabs from that era are far and away the best cabs I have ever used.
This is definitely worth noting about these though:

I think a lot of the sound comes from the heavy construction though.
