116x Cabinet Substitution - Guest - 08-27-2008

I have a 116x chassis and speaker but no cabinet. I would like to know what other cabinets my 116 chassis would fit into; table top or console.

Hi Brad

Your choices are limited:

116B - if you use a different speaker; the hum control rheostat may interfere with your ability to put it in a 116B tombstone cabinet, but it can be done.

I did this once. A 116X chassis in a 116B cabinet, with the smaller H (early version) or K (late version) speaker is a superb performer indeed!

Other choices:

660/665X

660/665L

That's all. It won't fit anything else without some modification to the cabinet.
