Okay, I should know this but I'm too lazy. Here's the scenario as I know it so far.
A former bandmate is giving me a Marshall 1936 series 2x12 cab I found for him in the mid 90s. Going pick it up today (all-day road trip). Don't know if it's 16 or 8 ohms yet, or if it has the 16/8 ohm switch on the back like the newer ones. Unsure of the Celestions in it, but they're likely either 70s or 75s.
My Bluesbreaker reissue is two 8 ohm Greenbacks wired for 16 ohms (parallel?). The ohm selector on the back of the amp is thus set for 16 ohms. It's the three-way rotary switch that dials 4, 8 or 16. It has two speaker jacks - one for the internals and one for an external cab.
So what's going to happen when I get this new-to-me cab home if it's non-switchable and 16 ohms? 8 ohms? Looking for the easiest hookup option.
