They use to have some kind of info page (manuals, etc) on this site, but they've changed things around and I have no clue what happened to that. I remember something involving deciphering serial numbers, but that might have pertained to basses or guitars.

Very "antiqued". was owned by Roly the late bass player from the Ozrics, and now being sold by a friend.
I'm just trying to get some idea of it's value.

It looks familiar. Possibly around the 80's or early 90's? It's vented on the bottom, so I don't think it's older than that, from what I've seen from that era. Could be wrong, though.

For someone truly interested in restoring it, $100 tops. It's not a vintage piece and in ragged out abused condition. Maybe $20 at a yard sale.

Quite a tight fit and could do with more stretching at the sides. The lateral silver stripes make the grill cloth quite resistant to forming a sharp corner.
I figure now that I should have left some excess of about 4" on the sides and stapled it to a dowel or broom handle to get an even pull on the grill cloth, roll it taut , clamp top and bottom and secure sides with staples and PVA. Trim the excess off once fixed.

Next step touch up the cabinet and chrome corners.
