Is this basically like my 210 hd except like running it on half power and with one speaker?
also can i convert to 2 12's or 2 10's.
how many ohm would this 12" be (8?) what would be the recommended ext cab for this - a single 15" or 12" i would presume and how many ohms. i wuld like a 70's ext cab to suit the combo, not the later black badged, however i cannot find either in a 1 12" on the models chart. Are they a nice sounding amp, i play a 210 hd usually and wanting stereo.
help!

Don't know wher you found a 1-12. I always wanted one of those! It should be the same as your 2-10 if they both are PI type or both SS driver type and theybothhave 6CA7'EL34 tubes. The speaker should be marked but if not, a simple ohmmeter test will reveal the truth. An 8ohm impedance speaker will read around 6 ohgms on the resistance and a 4 ohm will read 2.5-3 or so. I'd love that amp! Mike.

I pushed it to $720, but whoever wanted it obviously had bid enough to spare. I didn't really need it :-)

I own both a 112-65 and a 210-65. The 112 model has the PI tube, while the 210 does not. The 112 speaker is 8 ohms (rear toggle switch set accordingly) and the 210 runs at 4 ohms (also toggle set accordingly). Do I gather from your comments that the 112-65 is fairly rare? I certainly have not noticed a lot of them out there either from owner comments or on ebay. I bought mine in fairly sad shape and have restored it back to factory over 5 years...I just replaced the OT with a Mojotone/Heyboer 3-65, which is to schematic specs, and it LIVES!!
So...is this model a rare beast? I've noticed quite a few owners of 65-210's over the years.

The 1-12 isn't rare but you have to realize the mind set in the 70's-bigger is better. THe most often sold at our store in the 70's was the 2-12 130 that went up against the twin. Power was the thing back then. Marshall 100 watters, twins, you name it. The little amps were considered "practice amps" when I was in the business. Damn, we were stupid. I would like to have another 65 watt tube PI head again. I stupidly got rid of mine. I love my 2-10 but even it's getting heavy! Mike.

Yeah, I prefer the 112 over the 210 for weight (the 112 is about 10 lbs lighter!), plus I like the additional "bottom" the 112 has for my jazz and light club work. For LOUD and cutting-through, the 210 has it hands down. So, Michael,have your run across many other 112-65 owners over the years? I haven't...most are 210 owners. Hence my question as to whether the 112 model is scarce today? I understand about "bigger is better" back then. When I was young (before the flood), I actually wanted a Dual Showman to lug around! Sheesh. More brawn than brains, then, ya' know?

By the way, Michael...what is the best of these two tubes to run as the PI...I have both: NOS Mullard 12Ax7A, or Sovtek 12AX7LP (long plate)? Does this tube effect the tonality of the amp to any great significance? You'd be the guy to know...!
