I just found 8 original Celestion Greenbacks

[Bogwhoppit]

I've had my old amps/cabs laying around for years. I wont sell any of my vintage stuff ( Plexi head, AC30's etc ), so I keep them in my bike workshop as supports for the workbench. I was having a rummage through some old boxes and found eight original ( taken from two 1970's 4x12 cabs ) G12m Greenbacks.

A lot of us used to swap these G12M's out for JBL's ( if only we had a time machine back then ). So I have eight new, untouched , never been used mint ( NOS ) G12M original greenbacks.


But it don't stop there !

I rang my drummer to let him know of my find and he replied with " That reminds me, I have five of those taking up space in the studio that I need to throw out ".

Needless to say I shouted " Stoppppppppppppppppp" down the phone and guided him to eBay.


So what is the value of both New ( as in NOS ) and old used ones ( in great cond ) ?

Jeez, I thought I was doin' well when I got one!!!
Don't know how much they are worth, our US friends like them.

There is a guy on 'The Gear Page' who is an expoert on all things old Celestion - he'll know what they are worth over there.

Note the chassis and cone codes and pay him a visit !

Around 4 years back a bass player in a local band found 3 in his shed. He spoke Celestion to ( or whoever owns them now ) and talked to some guy who had a book ( not a computer record ) with all the numbers in , showing every single detail .

I'm in talks about a sale of all eight It's like ebay without the fees.


Fuck me, ( excuse my German ) they have gone up a few quid since I bought em ?

There is no market price for new old ones ? It's what someone is prepared to pay. At the moment I am trying to get that figure .

The other five used ones have an offer of £250 for the lot, but I have a feeling that can be improved upon.
