Title: Fixing up a vintage Gibson
Post by: deadspeaker on January 27, 2008, 12:40:16 AM
Today a friend brought over a Gibson amp for me to look at. The speaker is obviously blown because it makes this rattling noise. I removed the speakers and when I pushing it in, it made that scraping noise. The amp draws 30 watts from the wall and it is not very loud, but it sounds like no other small amp I've heard. I know I can handle rewiring it and replacing the pots and all that, but the speaker needs a good recone. Is there a site that will sell me the parts needed, not in kit from or "service" form. Thanks

Awesome. Thanks man. For the life of me I could not find a site like this. I don't know if the measurements will work(Gotta see if the guy will let me dismantle the speaker first) but now I know there is hope for an affordable DIY recone. Know of any how to guides?
