My other hobby . . .

The bucket may technically be food grade/quality, but that probably should not have made its way onto the kitchen table.

Went to a Renaissance Faire yesterday and acquired a tobacco pipe. It's been fun to noodle around with while outside drinking a homebrew. And there's a whole world of tobacco types and flavors to explore

It warms my heart to see a pair of 6L6s there Alan. And a nice resistor repair there. I see you've done this before.

Hi Don, Yes up to job number 80 now. Some easier than others. This was the second amplifier that burned in the same place. The first was unrecoverable. Someone put a 10amp fuse in as the 1.6Amp one kept blowing!!!
All was not lost with the amp though. I used the front panel to repair another amp and the case and speakers will be used to build a Tweed copy for my mate.

None of them match the Marshall 1959 Plexi I built for myself.

Hiding that master volume in the back to keep front “stock” looking, love it!. Plexis are wonderful. Amp shop that fixed one of my amps, a JCM 800, had a plexi. He let me crank the pkexi when I paid for my repair haha.

I used to fix and rewire guitars for myself and kids at school. Never worked on an amp other than changing tubes and speakers

Looks great Ben! I love the double hinges to turn the cover into a bench seat back.

Thanks Barbi their tripples I was gunna do double and miscalculated my hinges so i had extra anyhow:p

Edit I get you double hinged yes indeed took me a couple takes to get my head around it but once I did it fell together .

Am thinking of add more hinges and making use of the unused space either end under the seats to make room for toys when not in use.

Thanks Douglas :p
