Hi all,
My first post here since I joined this week. Many more to come I'm sure.
Would anyone know how or where I could find someone who does cabinet reconditioning / refinishing in or near upper NJ (Bergen County area)? I really want to avoid NYC at all costs. NY state (Rockland / Orange Ctys) OK.
I have a typical, non-unique, nothing-special mid 80s upper 4x12 cab that I bought used which is in dire need of proper refinishing. The non-original grille cloth is some weird brown color I've never seen and don't like, the white plastic Marshall emblem is the incorrect type and barely hanging on, and it's obviously been apart and messed with more than once. I'd at the least like a proper new face cloth installed with a correct and properly attached emblem. At the same time, I'm also looking to get the speakers replaced (a whole 'nuther endlessy tiring brain-spinner of decision that's draining the hell outta me.. Oh woe is me.. which ones to pick). Any additional services such as caulking, seaming, sealing, etc or whatever makes a cab better in the interest of performance would also be welcome. I would want speakers replaced as well at that time. I don't need it 'restored' to original or period-correct or anything like that. I just want a clean looking, properly presentable cab.
P.S. I took the back off and saw that it has 4 G12-75s rated at 16ohm.
G12T75 I think?.. Not 'H'. I took a pic but have it at home on my camera and don't remember. They're your typical mid-80s 75 issue speakers. All 4 work just fine and I'll take any fair price offer considering they are what they (just) are and I want to replace them with something different. Not looking for killer top-offer for them. Find the lowest price for them and offer me $20 below that. I don't care. I could always post a pic of the speakers should anyone request. No prob if anyone wants to come over and try them out. All questions welcome.
Thanks very much.
