Stereo/Mono and 4/8/16 Ohm Plate for Speaker Cab?

I have a Lopoline 2x10 with a pair of 8 Ohm speakers. For using it with various amps, I'd like the option of easily switching it from parallel (4 Ohm) to series (16 Ohm). Being able to individually select either of the two speakers at 8 Ohm would be handy too.

I know that Marshall makes a little jack plate for the back of some of their 4x12s that offers mono (4 or 16 Ohm) and stereo (8 Ohm, x2) choices. Fender did too with the cab for the Cyber Twin Head. Anybody know where to buy such a plate to install on my cab?

I used to know some sources for Fender and Marshall parts like this, but those old links were on my old computer.

Awesome, thanks!

I was able to find the Marshall plate at Mojo for about $48. That one eliminates the switch (must use switching jacks) and is about a quarter the price. Wow.

I have my Recto 2x12 set up with one jack per speaker, so it is a true stereo cab. For mono use I have a small parallel box that has one input and two outputs. It would be really simple to build a series box as well... I prefer this over switching jackplates because the components in those plates are generally not the best quality, and I don't want to risk something failing at a bad time.
