This cab has come to stay at my house. A bit of mystery as to actual manufacture year. Speakers date to the 5th and 10th weeks of 1969 and are Altec Lansing with the same stickers on each. Kustom By Ross,Inc with model No. G15A and serial No. NCC 1701. The serial number is etched in. One speaker is whitish and the other is dark colored. The Altec sticker for both has Altec Lansing 418 Type Dia-Cone with part #2T522. Has the chrome wheels and ports and the Kustom Electronics front emblem. Altec labeled speaker jack. It's charcoal T&R that had a few places that needed attention. The grill cloth was ripped pretty bad, so I replaced it. Had the Altecs rebuilt too. It's now all back together looking and sounding killer!

418s are a truly great speaker and I have several cabs loaded with them.
The work great even with Bass playing thru them but I would stay away from pumping a 5 string thru them unless it's just for home practice!
