Marshall 1960 4x12 slant cabinet (4x10 dimensions in red)

Cabinet is constructed from 5/8" Baltic Birch (11-ply, void-free) or similar plywood. Front edge of cabinet is "thickened" with strips of fir or pine, approximately 3/4w x 7/8d". Thickness of front edge, including levant (vinyl) is 1 15/32". Allowing 1/32" for levant, fir strips should be 13/16"

Baffle Detail

1/2" frame extends around perimeter of baffle and across the center. This "floats" the grill off of the baffle

2x2" back brace. Length should be slightly longer than cabinet is deep. Brace pushes against back, effectively dividing the back panel into four smaller panels, and changing the resonant frequency and greatly reducing cabinet vibration. In early cabinets the brace was cut to exact length and extended with a 1/16" rubber "tread"

5/8" BB brace, 2" in widh, approximately 26" in length (does not extend to edge of baffle) holds top and bottom of baffle together (use wood screws and glue)

"Skinny" gold piping inside 1/8 x 1/8" dado, cut 1 11/16" from edge of cabinet (to the center of the dado) and extending across panel and into front and back edges. Does not extend inside cabinet.
