skankdelvar Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) To my mild chagrin, Herself has hinted this be removed from the so-called 'dining' room. Bought a few years ago, but now surplus. [attachment=11312:yc610_front.jpg][attachment=11314:yc610_rear.jpg][attachment=11313:yc610_mfr_plate .jpg] Traynor YC-610 6x10 cabinet from the early 70's; in very good nick for a 35 year old and amazingly light - I can carry this on my own with no help - (unlike my B15 combo). On the few occasions it was gigged, I only stuck a 100w tranny head through it, but the guitarist kept bitching about 'too loud' - but same amp thru a 1x15 - no complaints!?! Ideal for pairing with a valve amp to recreate yer classic 60's-70's sound, matching up with an old YBA to re-unite a golden age rig - or just to stick under a modest modern tranny amp for a pleasing thump. Good round tone. Not a power monster, just a nice sound - see spec below. As used by 'The Guess Who', Bachman Turner Overdrive, Steve Miller and a host of other long-haired wrinklies from my youth. £150 and take it away - Mrs S will be very grateful.

dangerboy Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 If you don't shift this fast, try putting it in the Tech Room on the www.electrical.com forums. They are mad for Traynor there, and plenty of UK types read the site. Including me. I was very tempted by this cab until I saw the size of my flat :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umph Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 i wish i could justify getting this the fact its 5.3ohms is a bit dodgy though would it be alrate using it with valve heads running at 4 ohms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impedance is normal for old traynors like this - it's the factory standard, not a DIY rewire ; you can run 4 ohms into it, or could possibly re-configure the wiring run to get a different impedance. Not sure what it would end up as, you'd need to talk to a tech! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn it on it's side, throw some chintz over it and it makes a lovely window seat. I suggested that Mrs S do some foam-filled loose covers for it, but she declined.
