Hi men,
Could anybody advise me the original vintage Champ 5C1 with the 6" speaker overall dimensions, or give a link to its description?
Many thanks in advance.

I can't find dimensions, but I would use this picture to calculate them:

Since you can find the dimensions of a 6" speaker and the tubes you should be able to get real close on the cabinet dimensions.

Let me know if you are going to build a cabinet, I need one and do not have a garage to do woodworking.

I've got one, and love it.
The cabinet is fairly unusual...the front is sloped towards the back, and the back is straight until it reaches the control panel, then slopes towards the front.
Bottom dimensions...  11 7/8" x 7 9/16"
Top dimensions....     11 7/8" x 5 1/2"
Overall height.... 11"
The back panel slope starts 8 1/2" from the bottom.

Mine has the original speaker with a manufacturer prefix of 395.
I have been unable to trace this to a known manufacturer...any ideas?
I'm planning to replace it with a Weber soon so I can keep the original safe.
