BROKEN CAB
« on: March 29, 2019, 04:29:00 pm »
Hi guys, I was given a job to build a new cab for one that was dropped. :BangHead:


It's a bit hard to see the white line at the top back of the cab, it cracked about 6" from the chassis recess on both sides.
This is a high end built cab, fortunately chassis and Celestion Gold speaker survived the fall.

New cab is the same dimensions, but some fancy tolex



Very happy with the end result. :thumbsup:

Wow! Did Mick help you skin that croc?  :occasion14:
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

That's super nice! Is that the "fawn" tolex? It looks a lot different when it's actually on a cabinet. I didn't like it much looking at a sample square of it but that looks awesome. Nice job!

Yep.
It reminds me of the retro kitchen chairs we had when I was a kid.

Yeah, it does have that look. Sadly, my childhood memories consist of avocado green and giant fluffy orange carpet. :icon_biggrin:
