Patching Chassis Holes

[Patrick620]

Now you guys know why i don't toss anything

I save everything, too. Sure saves me a lot of money.

Your project looks great.

Looking good! :thmbsp: Quite a difference from the original chassis.

What's the trick for wrapping these old console amps with wood? Do you just drill a couple holes from the inside and stick screws through?

Thanks!!!

Yep, I'm just planning on doing exactly that with the wood.
I am going to dowel and glue it together in a big U and then slide it over and around and shoot a couple screws in each side.

OK, almost done. I still need to rework the cap clamp and touch up a few scrapes, but here she is in the rig and singing sweetly..

I'll sand down the gloss finish and hit it with some satin to dull the glare, but it looks nice. The fresh coat of black on the trannies is a nice look too.

Copper hammertone is perfect with your woodwork. Cheers,:tresbon:Bob

Id go with a new blank plate and mount everything fresh...otherwise the clay epoxy is awesome
