Is there any website where I can get a half stack for the Randy Rhoads amp head?

Howdy .. these guys will build you one , you can choose your own color of tolex and grill cloth

Here's another company that will make you one :

There's quite a few companies around that'll build you one , i think you will be waiting for a long time for a white Marshall cab to show up on ebay ... I guess you could also buy a black Marshall cab and re-tolex it with white .. good luck

The tricky part is going to be finding those Altec 417-8H speakers. They don't make them anymore, but I think someone is making a reissue of those if anyone has a link handy *edit - found it*. I'm not sure how important that is to overall tone, but I'd venture to say that it's quite a bit. Speakers make a huge difference.
Here's a spec sheet from the people that are doing the "new" ones, coming soon it looks like.

Definatly Splawn can build you the cab... I live in Charlotte NC and am very familiar with them.. The tricky part will be finding the Altec 417s. I mean if your going for authentic.. Im pretty sure the Rhoads Marshall reissue cabs just have the standard G-12-75s in them.. I had 2 of the Altecs a few years ago.. I was trying to hold onto them and get 2 more to put in my cab but I never could locate 2 more at a decent price.. I sold them to a friend and he put them in a combo amp and they were LOUD! and very very bright! I dont know if i would have liked a cabinet loaded with them, but I kinda wonder what they would have sounded like if i woulda put them in my Marshall cab in the X pattern like some folks do with the vintage 30s... Good luck!
