Re-issue dude, as those are the most expensive speakers I have, I just couldn't swing some of the crazy amounts that the originals go for. Plus, my speakers were bought new, so there's no guessing about how they've been treated, how long they'll last, etc...I know these original speakers can be had at a decent price, but I'd honestly be really wary of 'em for the reasons I mentioned, especially buying online....
I lucked out back in the 80s when I bought my Marshall 4x12 cab dirt cheap. It had 2x G12H30 55hZ blackbacks from 1978 and 2x G1265 from 1982. Recently I lucked out again and snagged 2 more G12H30 55HZ blackbacks also from 1978 that some guy had stored in his closet for decades. My Marshall cab is now back to it's original configuration.
