I purchased a used Randall RG1503-212 last year. UPS decided to destroy the cabinet (cracked completely through in 3 or 4 places, ripped and gouged tolex, two wheels completely sheared off) and they lost the footswitch and cable in one of the many gaping holes ripped into the box. The seller refunded me immediately and said to keep the amp, I gave him a partial refund and sent him photos for the insurance claim etc.

well the amp still works, the speakers aren't damaged and it sounds like I expect, and somehow the power cord was still in the box. It's been sitting for awhile, and I'd like to get it useable again.

I'm thinking about making it a separate head and 2x12 cab. empty 2x12 cabs are easy enough to find, not so much a headshell. I'm not a woodworker and don't have the tools, time or interest in becoming one.

any recommendations for possible head shell options? nuthin' fancy, basic black tolex.

Sourmash is a good choice but they might not have one suited. KSR might do it just email Kyle. Mojotone will rape you on cost

In my experience, once you pick out the style of cab that you want (options and styles shown on website), you would just pay a small up charge to specify your own dimensions for the front / rear cut-outs (as opposed to the standard measurements).

Not sure that they make a similar cab to Randall, but even if it was custom cut out to fit your front and rear panels, and looked different......it would definitely work for what you need.

There is one more company similar to them but for my life I can't remember their name. I think Jer has a speaker cabinet from them.
