Re: Plain black Williams/Joust cab???

I think the tell-tale signs of it actually being a joust cabinet would have to
be the little things like the dual coin door (can't see in the pic), and the
placement of the power switch and the nice metal handle on the top back to grab
when trucking. Also, joust cabs had the realy nice sliding plywood under the
monitor so that you could view it from the read with the reflective peice of
metal mounted above it. Otherwise, it might just be a generic cabinet that
someone manufactured to look very similar to a Williams cab.
