That sounds excellent - nice job! Do you think the mods you have done so far have been worth it (bit of cross-posting going on).

A bit of sanding and smoothing out the sharpe edges concludes this arvo efforts!

The only mods I’ve had done so far are the Master Volume and 3 way NFB switch. Master volume works well and is very useful to me, the NFB switch is not that great.
I always use the standard setting, the others just tame it to much for me.

If you have a look at an actual Jackson Ampworks 1x12 they do the same, probably nothing more than atheistics
But I thought I’d try and do it the same.
Might bring it depending on what state of completion it’s in.

Today’s update, vinyl is harder to work with than tolex!
Still might put silver corners on to cover my sins, time will tell.
Gonna try and find some white or cream tolex for the grill surround and then the back and I’m almost done!

Thats a good job though, you're right it is hard to get perfect. But it isn't unobtainium.... Until someone takes up the mantle of mojotone importer, then the shipping is always going to be shit.

I've done a few cabs in that stuff, it gets easier.
