Is Fender style Tolex the substitute for the original? TNX Jamie | ||

The "modern" Fender Tolex is not quite the same although it will work. The newer stuff has a coarser "grain" to the pattern than the original but is probably the closest you will find among the widely available Tolex-style coverings. I have used the modern Fender Tolex to recover a 112RD-100 of mine and you can't tell it isn't original from 5 or 6 feet away. I intend to recover my 210RD-100-EVM in Brown tolex and use Wheat grill cloth just to be different! I am not personally stuck on keeping everything as factory stock as long as it is done well and looks good! Steve | ||

 Got this cabinet and it was in some water or a damp place. The joints were starting to come apart. Reglued it all and clamped. It was in bad shape. | ||

 Starting to put it back together. Decided to use blue tolex. It was a hard decision, but now like it. Repainted speaker board and fixed a couple of bad spots. | ||

 Just about done. I am going to use it for a speaker cabinet. Left the holes for chassis. Need to come up with a plate where the chassis was. It is nice to take a junk cab and restore it and think it may around for another 30 years!!! |
