Brother and Sister are very much the same...


The schematic came yesterday for the amp and funny that the Viscount and the Buckingham is the same amp but in different cabinets.


The Viscount  and the Buckingham Reading about these two have one difference and that the e-tune was stock on the buckingham and only came on the V1154. Mine does not have this. One of the other things I would love to do is to put a grounded plug on this amp. 

One of the things that burns me up is that it is a made on a flake board construction and I HATE flake board. I have been watching videos for making finger joints for the corners.

This was great to see but just need to start working on this bad boy

Besides the kinds of joints I would love to construct in the building process I have other  concerns. So if I do the woodgrain I was thinking of a light tone so when I apply the black hardware it will have a wonderful contrast look. I will use the original handles and buy black Metal corner protectors like these.
The original corner pieces were plastic  and yes I have to change them with these

The handles are like this but since everything is going to be renovated the tarnished brass or if they are brass will be made black or cleaned up and sprayed with clear coat to make them shine for the rest of my life.

The handles are pretty cool they have the VOX logo on them

Now the other dilemma is the speaker grill what do I do there? Do I go with VOX or do I make it one of these...

 I love the look of these 

There are many areas where I have to decide what I am doing and once I do, I will have my path... Happy Palm Sunday! God Bless!
