Nah.  I think that's a lovely personal touch.  TE green has always been eye catching.  Green Kwackers too, of course.  Have you checked what they look like under UV?

 

No, my amp doesn't have UV, I believe it's the later model with the electro-fluorescent plate, which we think the previous owner disconnected. When my electronically-minded friend visits at Christmas we'll have a look inside. Hopefully no damage has been done to the drive circuit running for years without the panel connected!

Having made up my fancy lime green cables, I couldn't fit them without lifting the cabinets & amp which were stacked against a wall. So at the weekend I had a little DIY task...

 

Two layers of 12mm plywood and some PSE:

 

The amp came with a little trolley which wasn't up to much but the castors were worth re-using:

 

Slap on some black paint:

 

Ta da! Now it wheels around easily

That looks great. Well actually it’s hardly noticeable and that is exactly as it should be? 

[Rosie C]

Indeed it should! Each time I needed to move the amp I had to get my partner to help move the cabinets, and it felt like that children's 'Towers of Hanoi' puzzle, lifting the pieces of the puzzle from one place to another. Except each piece is 37kg! Wheels are definitely the way forward

Nicely done Rosie.

 

That's so much better than having eBait deliver instant gratification.
