help with marshall cab ID

[stratotone]

Am about to take the back off of her and see what speakers are inside... I was told V30s, cab sounds great.

Question for the marshall experts - does this look like a '72 cab? It has the square metal '100 watts' label on the back instead of the later round ones, but has plastic handles. The handles and the top 'cups' for the casters are screwed in also.

Update: took a look, the back is plywood not MDF! And the speakers have this code... which I can't find anywhere.

No Shit! Also, it's signed 'Ron' on the inside, like 99% of the vintage cabs I've seen online. Ron sure was busy!

Correction! Speaker codes are july /72
I'll bet thedate of manufactue of the cab was 73

76 had the "elephant" tolex. Heavier grain.

Interesting... yeah, I have a '76 blackback cab, the tolex is a different pattern. Tolex on the cab matches the head perfectly. Cool beans!

If he worked for Fender, they would have had him sign all the 'HW' cabs like that abigal ybizarra or whatever her name was signing the pickups! lol
