Have a BF Vibroverb cabinet on order for the '66 Super Reverb chassis I have collecting dust. I received the Eminence 1518 speaker to go in it for Christmas.
It's rare I have to buy all the parts that go in a BF cabinet, they add up fast:
Chassis straps and bolts/nuts
Fender logo
Cable clamps (3 —1 for AC cord, 2 for reverb cables)
Reverb cables (this is luxery, but since the Super Reverb cables are too long, I'm buying the correct-sized Vibroverb/Twin ones)
Screws and washers to mount reverb tank/bag
Speaker plug (F cap) and wire
So far, I've only ordered the reverb cables, I'll check Home Depot/Lowes over the weekend for the screws, clamps and washers, the rest waits until next month.
Still contemplating tilt-back legs, maybe...maybe not.
Now I have to wait and see when I can order in a couple of transformers (and tubes). I decided to get the '66 Super Reverb chassis running again and then go back and mod it.
It was a smooth transaction. When he sent the invoice for payment, he stated what day(s) it was in the queue to be built and what day it should ship on. The work was as good as it gets and prices were competitive. While there are other builders that have made me great product (and some that haven't), I think the professionalism and scheduling will keep me coming back to Mather in the future.
Only what I need to get it up and running...new OT, power tubes, power cord, negative feedback resistor, etc. Shipping was murder as usual; $107 in parts means $30 in total shipping from three vendors.
Installed tip jacks for bias checking. Yes, I drilled holes in a 1966 Fender chassis, but there isn't anything collectible about this chassis.
Soldered up the speaker connector (you can't tell me Fender used these things, they seem like a time suck to do repeatedly)
And finally new power cord and grounded courtesy outlet...
Stay waiting for the output transformer to arrive. Keen eyes may note I don't have a fuse holder...I broke the original, so I have to spend another $10 for a NOS replacement, postponing finishing even longer.
