Dave's Vibroclone In Progress Page
04/25/04

This Vibroclone project is going to use a '69 Bandmaster Reverb chassis. We'll be using a '60s JBL D130 speaker reconed by Ted Weber, a custom black tolex with "aged" grill cloth cabinet and a blackface Vibroverb faceplate from Larry Rodger and a new production Twin Reverb output transformer.

Initial Condition


Old caps and another really smoky chassis in need of a good cleaning.


In need of a blackface conversion. Pretty dirty chassis on the inside too.

 

Restoration and Conversion Progress


New power caps. Cleaned chassis, new on/off switches and Twin Reverb OPT.


Blackface conversion. Key signal coupling caps replaced.


New on/off/standby switches, grid/screen resistors, power cord and sole control. Rodger's Verb faceplate.


Rodger's aged grill cloth cab. WeberVST reconed JBL D130F.


In test.

Completed Restoration


Completed chassis and cabinet assembly.


Sounds just as good as it looks too!
