Fender Showman 412S cabinet

Anyone have any information on these cabinets? One is at my nearest GC for $225 in good shape. I know Victor Griffin (Pentagram, Place of Skulls) uses them.

EDIT: Found out it was used with the cyber-twin head :/ but runs 75 watt celestions in a 16 ohm mono/2 8 ohm stereo operation.

The older ones are rad. I have the 2x15 version of it...

This is the newer version. But I just saw a Marshall 1960AX near me for 450. Might jump on it if he still has it.

I'd take the Marshall. Then I'd pop off the back and tighten everything.

I just sold an empty 2x15 Showman cab. That was one strangely shaped cab! I work with a guy that has a matching head and cab(2x15?) from the early 70's(?) and he is the original owner. He has been trying to sell it to me for the past year. I may snag it this spring.

The 2x15 is real shallow, but it pumps out some fuckin' bottom. Love that cab.

Scored the Marshall for 4 bills. Now I am going to try and convince him to let me pick it up this Saturday instead of Sunday.

I think the guy is a scammer. If you notice the link I put in, the cabinet listed in Austin looks exactly the same as the one listed in Panama City,FL listed three months earlier.
