Mosrite BG500 Restoration

[thunderhead]

Hey Guys - I need a footswitch made for the Mosrite BG500 amp I recently picked up. Also the thing has been recovered very badly in some gray material. Anyone know where to get the same type of black tolex it came with. I don't think it is the same as Fender. I also need the side handle and the grill cloth logos,{ Award and The Ventures}. I know the logos will be tough, I bid one up over a $100.00 on ebay a few weeks ago but lost it in the last few seconds. I only have $250.00 in the amp and everything works except the reverb so I have some room for restoration. Any thoughts?????? Billy Crawford

I believe Vintage Soul undertook a similar restoration. This thread may be useful:

WOW That's what I paid for the Amp I think I'll have to hold out for now.

Those are probably the one's that are missing off your amp.

personally, I'd make color copies of the images on the auction, put them under some clear plexi and use that.

Anybody seen a chassis?
I bought one of these with no chassis a few years ago. the guy I got it from said he had put the chassis in the shop,then the guy went out of business,and took everybodys stuff that he had in for repair,and I was thinking that someday I can reunite them.
