Any
vintage amp in its original condition, no matter what shape
it’s in, is always worth more if left alone. However,
if it’s been stripped or re-covered poorly, a proper
restoration is the way to go.
While its chassis was being
serviced, this cabinet was sent to me for restoration.
As you can
see, the amp had been re-covered badly, and then multiple
coats of paint were applied over that, including the inside.
Here's
what was involved in bringing this vintage amp back to its
original condition.
