[QUOTE="gordon mcgregor, post: 98716, member: 169"] Re: British Watkins WEM Twin HORNS from FESTIVAL STACKS! Rare Birds! - $275 Who knows what actual horn it was but it was very similar to that and just about as large, the amps had RCA badges on the cover I was 17 at the time and was only interested in the amps because of the fad for valve amps in the hi fi world.
