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.
