Historic Differences in Marshall Cabs construction

Post by rgorke » Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:53 pm

Is there a place to find (other than Jim's head) what all the changes are to Marshall 4x12 cabs over the years? I am talking about the birch made 1960 cabs. For example, in 196X, Marshall went from the handles with chrome bars to black or in 19XX the handles went from rivoted to screwed in. Also, stuff like the sound bar size, etc.

Finally, in terms of cabinet construction (not speakers), is there any difference between a JCM800 or JCm900 cab and a "regular" 1960? Is it just the badge?

Thanks
