Title: VOX AC50 restoration
Post by: Leevi on November 14, 2011, 01:44:49 pm: I'm planning to renew the vinyl covering for an old VOX AC50 head and
am wondering how to operate with the strips. Can they be removed without damaging them?

Tubesandmore.com has new "piping".

Thanks

Yes I mean that. What is the product (product number) you mean?

Since there is only 1x "other" Vox piping listed on that page, I think it is S-GP008

Post by: Leevi on November 21, 2011, 09:40:06 am: But this is not what I mean. There are two lines of metal strips going
around the cabinet. See the picture under the following link:

Geezer and HotBluePlates you are right.
The piping is like you said, it is not metal.

Thanks
