Sorry, I missed your 1st post about how many speakers it had. The second
version Tremolux cab had the 2x10 configuration with the same dimensions.
According to "Fender Amps" the change to 2x10s occured in early 62 with rough
white/oxblood for a short time and then changed to wheat late in 62, smooth
white/gold sparkle in late 63, and BF in 64. As you've already figured out,
12's will fit in there just fine! BTW the earlier 1x10 did have the tone
ring and a Tremolux head is 23" wide.
