Typically these are the holy grail of G12M's if they're original cones. I'd have to guess anywhere from $1500-1800 even in the present economy, since these are practically unobtanium.

But what the hell do I know, right? I have three of these (soon to have four more), and I've been offered up to $500 each for mine, with the low offer being $400...within the last year, and as recently as Oct 2/3rd at the LA AMP Show.

Ill let you know when I grab them. You can have all 4 for $1000. I'll send pics and confirm they are original cones.

I wish I didn't read this. Now I am scared to push mine so hard. I have two and they sound incredible. I thought they might be about $200 each, so I figured what the heck. $500 each, maybe I should reconsider playing them!

I only pull mine out with amps rated at 1/2 their power handling...so when my latest 4x12 w/20w gets here, the most it's going to see is a 50w amp on 5-6 MAX.

I might be in the minority here but I prefer the sound of the 25 watt G12M to the 20 watt.

So i found another old marshall cab with cream backs in it.
Codes on basket T1221 and EG2 also a little circular "herald " stamp.
Cone code RIC1YT
so build 2 May 1974, but whats with the T1221 code in the basket ...is this right?
Creme covers say rola celestion ipswich england

T1221 is the 16 ohm 25w 75 hz G12M cone frame code. That code started in the mid 60's, still being used today.

For more info on the old ones...go here. Get a pot or TWO of coffee going.

Thanks Jim.
I used your post as the original reference. I havent dared to read the entire post yet.
Whats the general feeling about the Ric cones. the bass sounded real tight to me which I like.

Aw, it's only about 30 pages, what's holding you back?

RIC cones, I just got my first ones about three months back in a cab I just acquired. When I get the demo room dialed in, I'll be putting the Mac Pro Tower in there and doing some clips.
