Yes, used to play them out a bit. They are quite different than other speakers. I like their 40/40 the best.

No Ace nearby. There may be specialty shops in Lexington but the Mojotone screws are on order. Lowe’s had #8 wood screws that looked close, but the last 1/4” to the head is not threaded and they are not stainless. Just being patient.

I have too many speakers sitting in boxes, no more speaker purchases. For the time being. All are 8 ohm so will have to choose between 16 or 4 ohms, leaning to 16 so I can use it with a combo+speaker and throttle the power when used with the ART SLA-2 I used contact cement since that appears what was originally used. Have stainless baffle screws on the way from Mojotone as I couldn’t find an exact match at Lowe’s. The speaker mounting screws seem too long, May not be original. Uses T-nuts in the front of the baffle. Not sure if 8-32 machine screws by themselves will hold good or if I should add washers and lock washers. Eight per speaker.

Not sure how many gigs I will take it to, like to have a small foot print for hauling and on stage. I have a Jerry type rig with a Sarno SMS preamp and ART SLA-2 power amp that this will work well with. Pics once I get the cab loaded.

Thanks. Will take a trip to Lowe’s. Need some additional bolts for the T-nuts on the baffle. They seem long. One of the T-nuts was out but got it seated and tight, another not all the way tight. Buggered some screw heads removing the baffle when dealing with the T-nuts. Not sure if the casters are factory, thinking about replacing with glides. Will see how heavy once loaded. It is cleaning up nicely.

Wasn’t looking but found a Mather 2x12 diagonal on Facebook Marketplace at a price I couldn’t pass up. Lightweight pine and open back (two panels). The Tolex seams on the bottom are lifting a little. Any recommendations on an adhesive to use? Other wise looks solid and in nice shape. Considering the following configurations for speakers. 1) an H-Bomb with Tone Tubby Purple Haze and Winterland 2) Two Tone Tubby Reds that are actuallly double-dipped, prototype DDs.

To my understanding, the Shablotnik are in the PAF range and the Charlotte are hotter. You can talk to both Josh and Jeff about what you are looking for and they can tweak. I got UOA5 magnets and slight wind mismatch on my PUs, kept light potting. Shablotnik (Ultimate) pickups normally have A2 magnets.

PSA 2003 Hamer Monaco Elite
BoogieMKIIA replied to velorush's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
Can’t tell if it has a maple cap by looking at the pics. Could be a Monaco Elite mahogany, which explains the dot inlays. Believe the original pickups were Duncan Custom and Custom Custom. I have not played one to comment on the neck. Should be a great guitar. -
Thought about taking a look but no funds and don’t play what I have enough. There is a former work acquaintance in Lexington that has several nice Hamers. A Standard, a pink chambered Monaco Elite, koa Mirage 1, a couple of others. Should see if he is holding or selling. I was looking at his stash right before I found my Studio Custom on Reverb.

If you've got the money, honey. Even Sunn amps. Other places would swipe your triple double diamond platinum card to get that close. Absolutely insane!
