Does anyone have a vintage correct Tweed Princeton 5F2A cabinet drawing? I am trying to determine if a 10" Celestion Gold can fit into one (with a different baffle, of course).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Tweed Princeton 5F2A cabinet drawing
I do not, but I have installed a 10" in my vibrochamp so I am sure you could pack one into that!
The late 55 to 60 Princtons where a good bit bigger and should present no issue in getting a 10" in there, on the other ones you may have to do what I did to this Jensen driver to get it to clear the filter can (which in your case may be a power tube) that being cutting out a speaker frame web.
So the type of 10" you use may need to be a concideration!

Thanks Steve! I did a little photogrammetry on the 10" Gold to determine how far the magnet bell sits back, but still need to map this onto the cab dimensions. I think I have found a reasonable approximation of the cab.Stevem wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2017 11:30 am I do not, but I have installed a 10" in my vibrochamp so I am sure you could pack one into that!

FAFG gives two sets of overall dimensions for the narrow panel tweed princeton cab

The 5F1 cab gives and indication of timber thicknesses and cab angles, and I'd say the best thing to do is scale it to the maximum cab dimensions and eyeball the other bits.

Scott Cole did a great set of drawings for a 5E3 cab dimension over at MEF a few years back. (See attachments)
So a 5F2 is somewhere in between

Re: Tweed Princeton 5F2A cabinet drawing
Thanks for putting that together! That is very helpful. I do have the 5E3 and Duelltone 5F1 drawings so will use the stated angles and Ampwares' information on the Tweed 5F2A to extrapolate.tubeswell wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 7:27 am FAFG gives two sets of overall dimensions for the narrow panel tweed princeton cab

EDIT: Looks like a 10" speaker should fit, no problem
