I wrote these fellas and they said that they will convert a blackface Deluxe RI to blackface handwired for $300 plus shipping. Sounds like a plan to me.....and they are in Gulf Breeze (Pensacola) FL, sos i could drop it of the next time i am in the panhandle on business and save the outbound shipping cost. They recommended the Weber ceramic version of the JBL 120 as their speaker of choice for the upgrade, but i already bought a G12H30 Heritage, so we will see.......maybe that will go in Deluxe or maybe in an extension cab for the 18w.:bigok: But if you think about it, thats not bad. If you use a regular good speaker and buy a RI on ebay or someplace, you could have essentially a brand new blackface Deluxe for around $1k.

CFF......well, if you like, you and Scott and I could send the wives/gf's out "shopping" and we could meet at the shop and take care of the amp over beers there...(how much trouble could we get into with a topless bar 20 yards away?????!:dunno: )

Hi Scott! Are you thinking of Gerald or Dan Torres? I didn't know Gerald had a kit like that...I know Dan does...and he gets trashed even more often than Gerald! His kits do work though...I learned alot about amps from installing Dan's kits. Lew

Dan's kit turned my Princeton Reverb into a Lil' Buzz Box.:dunno: But I must admit, It did wonder's for my old 77'Twin (135watt) But those Linear powered
Twin's where probably the most Silvery faced sounding amps in the whole Silverface line.
