Trying to run a 5153 into a 2x12 combo, will it work?

Normally I wouldn’t go this route, but I’m letting someone borrow one of my 5153 50 watt heads. They have an old red knob Fender power chorus. Here’s pictures of the inputs available. Can I make the 5153 power the speakers without any damage to the my head? Here’s a picture of the backside of the combo.

No.

The 5153 needs to have a load, and there isn't the proper input on the combo.

Thanks Max.

Thanks Max.

You can try tracing those speaker cables and see if they terminate at male 1/4" jack, which is sometimes the case. If so it could work depending on if the wires reach.
