Farfisa 4x12" Vintage Lead Guitar Speaker Cabinet, Model O.R. 100
|
This
is one impressive vintage guitar speaker cabinet!! It was made by the
high-end Italian company Farfisa in the late 70's or early 80's. It is
very well built, but is missing the original castors on the bottom (I have
since put four new castors on). It has four plastic holders on the top to
hold the model O.R. 200 amplifier it was intended to be used with. My
camera makes the pictures look worse than they look in person.
Unfortunately, the length + girth factor is 138.3" for this cabinet and
the UPS maximum is 130". Shipping to anywhere would be very difficult, so
pick-up would be optimal.
Specs:
- All speakers work and there is no audible difference between any of
them, meaning they are very well matched.
- Each speaker is 16ohms and is series/parallel wired for a total of
16ohms. They can easily be rewired for 4ohms, if desired.
- The speakers are in PERFECT condition, the pressed paper cones are
impeccable, no rust on the steel frames, no chips on the magnets, no
scratches or dings. They have a very nice paint job on them, which is
hammer-tone silver/gray with black sponge lines.
- The speakers are mounted using all 8 holes, with red glue on the bolts
to make sure they don't move.
- The total power handling is around 300watts.
- The cabinet is built VERY solid: it weighs almost 90lbs, and has a
unique center post between the four speakers which braces that rear of the
cabinet, eliminating unwanted cabinet resonances.
- The cabinet is lined with fiberglass to cut down on boominess,
muddiness and inner-cabinet echos.
- Metal striping on cabinet in excellent shape minor scratches, but
there is no rust or oxydation present at all.
- Grill cloth is virtually perfect: no rips, streches, stains, etc.
There is a minor fray spot near the bottom that I didn't even notice
unless I was looking straight down at it from the top. It is otherwise
completely unnoticeable.
- Comes with a sturdy 4-foot cable with 1/4" jack to convert from its
3-pin European connector.
- Dimensions: 31.75" tall, 29.5" wide, 15.2" deep.
The plate on the back of the cabinet reads:

- As the pictures show, the outside of the cabinet is in nearly perfect
condition. The tolex is clean and relatively free of dings. There was
one 0.4" tear in the tolex on the front that has been repaired.

- The sound of the cabinet is superb-- very clear. 4x12"s move a LOT of
air and you can FEEL the notes when you play them. The sound is very
clear whether you are on axis or off axis, never boomy or broken up. All
four woofers have no audible differences between them.
