Whether I ultimately sell this amp, or keep it and use it, this little refurb job is good. The logo is, or rather was, very worn and battered.
Looks like this amp saw a lot of heavy action before I got it. I have the to confess I more or less haven’t used it at all. Shame on me!
I removed the plastic plate, masked it all, and then sprayed it black. I think with Rustoleum matt black? Left it a while to dry (actually encouraged that process a bit with a hair-dryer… feeling impatient!).
The ‘reveal’, aka peeling off the masking, is peculiarly satisfying.
One minor gripe is that I’ve left lines visible where I cut the masking. I could’ve either cut more accurately, or masked a different way; e.g. filled the recessed lettering with plasticene.
Oh well! You live n’ learn. And I’m happy enough with the way I’ve done it for the time being. It looks very nice n’ crisp. And it’s undoubtedly a massive improvement.
And finally, the two little Phillips head screws hold the logo plate in place, as it was before. Only now, looking so much better.
Very gratifying and highly satisfying!
