Vintage Bell & Howell Filmosound 1x12” Cab - 16 Ohm Jensen Speaker - 1940’s/1950’s Made In USA

For sale is a mid-century Bell & Howell Filmosound 1x12” cab. Equipped with the original AlNiCo Jensen speaker, rated 16 ohms. Not sure on the exact wattage since the speaker is missing the label, but it is either 15W or 25W based on the Jensen's known to be used during this time period of Filmosound cabs. Attractive wooden enclosure with a hinged back. The original input jacks are a 2-prong and 4-prong design rather than a standard 1/4” jack but has been tested with alligator clips to be fully functional and sounds great with a low wattage amp! Has some signs of wear and tear most notably on the bottom of the cab, but overall the cab is in good condition for its age. Included are the original 2 and 4 prong cables, as well as one film spool. The 2-prong cable appears to have been modified at some point for hooking up to other devices but is working as it should.

This speaker has been prepackaged to ensure safe and accurate shipping. If you’re looking to have the amp shipped internationally, feel free to reach out with an address for an exact quote.
