This stuff is great, but you're definitely going to want to wear a respirator, because boy, are those fumes nasty! As a side note, I might try a water based contact adhesive next time around. Tolex was applied using good ol' DAP Weldwood Contact Cement. Could've probably gotten away with 3 yards, but I wanted extra just in case I messed up. I ordered 4 yards of Black Bronco Tolex from Mojotone. TOLEXING! MY FAVORITE PART! WHERE IT ALL COMES TOGETHER! The entire cabinet was finished with 220 grit on a 5" Orbital Sander. A lot of time was spend working on some of the edge/corner areas that had been severely gouged out. I used a combination of the above 3 products and spent about 3 days going over the entire cabinet. It hardens quickly and is ideal for filling really small imperfections. Bondo Glazing and Spot Putty: A 1-part putty you can find at any auto parts chain store. This Glazing Putty also uses the same Blue Cream Hardener as Rage Gold. USC Glazing Putty: Basically just a lighter version of the above for a final glaze coat or for filling really slight imperfections that don't require a lot of build thickness. Rage Gold uses Blue Cream Hardener, not Red Cream Hardener like Bondo.

Rage Gold Body Filler: A professional grade product that is much easier to apply and sand than the regular old Bondo you see at auto parts stores. I used the below products, and can post links/photos if anyone is interested: I have a lot of experience doing automotive/motorcycle body work at a hobbyist level, and I've always heard that these polyester body fillers work great for filling gouges in wood as well. Next, I broke out automotive body filler.
#1967 bandmaster serial
Looking forward to hearing from ya'll if I'm correct in dating this! There was a small tag on the bottom noting a serial of "P16635"? My research seems to indicate that this cab would have been a 1967 or 1968 as:Ī) It's the larger size closed back Bandmaster 2x12 Here are some photos of the cabinet when I first bought it home two weeks ago. cracks and wood chipping off around the edges.You name it, she's got it! These things are so freaking massive that it wasn't surprising to see that it had acquired its fair share of battle scars over the years. The cab, to be frank, was in a rough state. Nice dude! Apparently his wife is a Cher impersonator and he had a lot of gear left over from a studio he used to own. To make a long story short, I grabbed this beast from a local guy named "Jerry" for $150. I was browsing Facebook Marketplace and VOILA.PERFECT! A MASSIVE and TATTY 1967 Bandmaster Cabinet to drag home?! The story begins as was a Friday.my family was away travelling. The shipping carrier will be based on buyers location and at my discretion.Hey Everyone! I'm new here! Not sure if this is the proper area of the forum to document a build/restoration type of post like this, but I wanted to share the restoration of my new (to me) 1967 Fender Bandmaster Cabinet.

Please feel free to ask questions before you purchase.
The great thing about buying and owning one of these is that they are infinitely repairable and they don't seem to lose market value, in fact they seem to be going up currently. The cabinet is 100% original, with a pair of original 12" Fender blue label speakers. and I've got it priced right and included the shipping, so its a fair deal, and I have plenty of experience in shipping heavy/bulky freight. I would like to sell the entire amp rather than split it up, as these are rarely seen together. The name board has been recently replaced with a new, but "vintage correct" material board, so its just as it was factory stock, but I do have the original board and I'm happy to include it.Ĭosmetically it's about a 6 maybe a 6.5. an idea that Boss has incorporated into they're new Katana 100 heads. People used to do that so they could take the head home and practice with it with the internal speakers, and leave the big cabinet at their rehearsal space. A Vintage 1968 (drip edge) Fender Silverface Bandmaster Reverb amp model TFL5005D in good operating condition. the heads original "nameboard" was cut for additional 6x9 speakers many years ago.
