Why is this fucker reading 8 ohms?

What gives? They all read roughly 8 ohms, 'cept for the blown one... which reads nothing. (Duh)

Have you got the gear to do an impedance sweep? Might jsut be seeing the difference between nominal impedance and resistance, although with such a common speaker, I'd guess it would be a known thing. Hiwatt fanes are quite far off their nominal if you measure resistance.

Negative Oli. I just rechecked all of them with a fresh battery in the meter. 10.2 which is closer to the 12 they should be reading. Just broken in, I guess. Either way, 16ohm replacement?

10.2 sounds a familiar number from when I've measured speakers, which were likely those. Shouldn't be hard to pick up another one the same, they come in everything.

Yeah, not worried aboot it, just a littke surprised they're that much off from the label.

In other news, these marshall 1960s are built like utter shit.

The old(er) 1960's were plenty stout compared to many, is that a newer'n ?

Screw gun? You know you're old when you regard those things as luxurys. Get to twistin' by hand, then walk uphill both ways to school by cracky ! :P

Everything was loose inside of it, too.

My 1960a is a dozen or so years old. The impedance selector thing melted one night so I removed it and just hardwired everything to the jack. The casters suck so I replaced them with those nice ones Mesa uses. I had weird resonant frequencies so I lined the inside with foam and added a bunch more screws...sounds great now (with Weber Michigan's) but it's been a work in progress for years.
