I bought the 1977 VT-40 from Torres Engineering in an online scratch'n'dent sale. It was so badly flood-damaged that the speakers were trashed, and the cab was litteraly falling apart at the seams! The closest replacement speakers I could find were about $60 each, but one WeberVST 15" California Ceramic only cost $96. And I had to build a new cab anyway, right? I started with the cab set up open-back, but I just finished fitting new panels to seal it up and I like it even better this way. Now I can get on with applying the Tolex and the grille cloth.[/font]
