Re: NCD 412
Have you guys ever looked at your old threads when digging things out to start the project over and realized that your posts came across as a snotty teenager and you would like to punch yourself in the face? No? I guess that's a me thing.
It's been quite a long time since I started on this 4x12 and it's been under a pile of other projects and I haven't really had the time to work on it and just played it the way it was, the grill ended up getting painted black and it's been sitting for a little while. Bought
burgundy snakeskin tolex from mojotone a few years ago and when my local lowes refused to stock some wilsonart h20 contact adhesive(because I'm not paying $40 a quart for the same stuff from mojotone when I can get a gallon), I ended up working on other projects and letting it sit. Fast forward to now I just finished buying pretty much everything I need to restore the cabinet to better than new. Although it would be my first attempt at a recover I plan to take it slow and get this knocked out a task at a time.
Waiting on to show up:
1gal Wilsonart H20 Contact Adhesive - Arrived.
E-Z lok 6-32 brass threaded inserts (can't stand stripped woodscrews) - Arrived
EB casters (non pop in) - Arrived.
All new hardware (black and stainless) - Arrived
Foam tape - Arrived
Cerwin Vega handles with insert cups. (I broke down and decided the plastic wasn't all that bad and I was eventually swayed by it being less effort.) - Arrived.
To do:
I have to break down and take the cab corners to various sanders because it won't come off by hand, then prime and repaint them on hooks after I hammer the dings out. - done
Sand the entire cab down with an orbital and take a roundover bit to the edges of the cab if it sands too flat. - done
Pop the speakers out, mask them off, clean the rust off the speakers and take an acrylic nail brush with paint to the areas that rusted previously.
Drill the majority of the stripped holes to a larger diameter and put in inserts. - done
Prime and paint stainless hardware if it clashes.
Respray the face black after filling some dings because it looks pretty dull and grey. - done
Find out where I put the Sheffield logo. located but don't know if I still want it on the cab.
For the sake of google pulling this thread up so other people don't have to wonder, Cerwin Vega handles fit Peavey 412MS cabs as a direct replacement.
This is probably a couple months worth of work, but I figured I would necro the thread simply because I was excited to work on the cab again after several years.
Project will be started as soon as the weather breaks, Michigan weather is awful and it's currently freezing rain in the middle of May.
