Thought I was familiar with all the basic model designations, but what the heck is this?

A K200-B6? Looks like a B1 to me. And is that a 2x10/1x15 cab? Cool! If the story is correct, this looks like a great find for someone (although the price seems a bit steep, even for something this unusual and in apparently mint condition).

It is a fairly odd and rare amp. The head is a model 6 with a Selectone preamp on the left side. The speaker cab is also odd with the dual 10's and the fact that they are all JBL's.
I've only seen one model 6 amp before, but I've seen a few of the cabinets before. I guess the price is what it is.

Thanks, Bill. I thought that one knob said "Selectone", but it was a bit fuzzy. So what is that, a multiposition switch that cuts in some different capacitors or something?
I take it this never made it into any of the literature.
Cool looking amp. Wouldn't mind owning it, but way to rich for my blood.

Exactly, the Selectone switch was a three position switch that changed the frequencies that the bass and treble controls worked at.
Pleat would have a better idea, but I think that the model 6 was issued late in the run of the plexi front amps and so there weren't that many made and there wasn't a lot of info about them.
The Selectone concept was continued in the K150/K250 metal front amps.

Look at the baffle board itself......it doesn't look right either. The texture, paint whatever was used doesn't look right. I too noticed that the ports were smaller but since I have never seen a cabinet like this one thought that was how they were made. Sounds like maybe someone is pulling a fast one to jack up the price. ????????? Regardless, they will never get even half of what they are asking for it.....unless someone with more money then sense buys it. If so, hope they contact me. I have a Corvette and some other junk laying around that I will ask a ridicules price for and sell it to them.

Well, that's the thing about old amps and about stories on eBay. Every time you buy a used amp, you have to look at it to see what is original and what has been changed.
I'm no expert about these cabinets, but the black frame JBL's didn't seem right. I think that they are newer than the cabinet.

Hey, thanks, Don! I had never noticed that Supplement page.
Looks like the real deal to me. Still, $1,800 seems pretty steep. Maybe half that would be a reasonable starting point.
