Post by: Tyrellp34 on July 22, 2016, 01:55:46 AM: Hi

Anyone who knows the dimensions of the wooden skid under a Hiwatt 4x12 cab? Preferable in mm ;D . Plan to make some repros form my vintage cab.

Thanks!

Agreed. Not only is your back more important, but rollers have been put on cabs since people started moving them. I think they're historically correct on anything.

Better stock up now while Sears is still in business.

They lost something like $350 million in the second quarter, but if it hadn't been for selling off a bunch of real estate, they would have lost over $500 million. Fun b/c it's entirely due to stupid management.
