PaulThePlug Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 Vanish Carpet Cleaner and a washing up brush... Looked like something had been nesting... took out the wadding along with a plastic spoon, Ikea type pencil and a Minions toy - possibly McD's Happy Meal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you consider removing the carpet covering? I have a SWR Goliath Jr 2 2 x 10 incoming and if the carpet covering is secured tightly I am considering giving the carpet fabric a coat or two of Tuff-Cab. I am hoping that the acrylic will soak into the carpet fabric and create a really tough finish. ( all most like Tolex) Anyone on here used Tuff-Cab on carpet or is it wiser to remove the carpet fabric? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 @JohnDaBass Still work in progress to get it going. It look real tatty in the Faceache pics, so was considering taking the carpet of and Danish Oil... but, It's not all ply, top ledge baffle etc are a chip type board... and the carpet came up pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay777 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Love a good refurb! I know nothing about these amps but it's cleaned up really well - hope it works 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Corner Protectors Arrived... Similar, fitted. Wadding and a Stapler arrived... Might do the Wadding Stuffing tonight. @Ramsay777 There is a light crackle 'n hum thru the speakers when the Master is Wanged to and fro.. but no through signal sound. As no signal out the Tuner Out, going to start to look at the Input and Send Return Jack Sockets Fingers crossed something simple. @JohnDaBass I'd go Carpet Cleaner and a Hair Trimmer... Other is likely to result in a mess and possible regret... If it don't come up OK after a Wash and Short Back 'n Sides then go Plan B...

PaulThePlug Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Wadded... @stevie advised to keep the wadding away from the port... All stapled up to prevent wafting... Edited December 7, 2023 by PaulThePlug 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
