Peavey Cab Refurb

So! I've been neglecting my blog for the past few months. I've been busy though. I imagine I'd keep this more current if the posting process weren't such an immense pain.

Anyway, I picked up this old Peavey combo cabinet (used to be a Stereo Chorus) on the cheap, and it'd already been mostly converted to a combo. The tolex had already been stripped and a new back panel added. Really about all I've done to this is sand it, stain it blue, and slap a few coats of shellac on it.

Shellac is probably a terrible finish for a speaker cabinet, but this cab is already beat to hell so I'm not really worried about it getting scratched/dented. Plus I had the shellac already, as well as the blue stain.







I mean, I didn't even make the grille, though I would like to do more work on it. Still have to add a jack plate. I guess this is kind of a silly post, but I just wanted to document that I did it.
