My friend
Eddie Morin
produced a reproduction 1950 TV Champ cabinet for my Fender amp last
year. It turned out extremely accurate, both in detail and
craftsmanship. And it looked so nice I just couldn't bring myself to
cover it in tweed. So I gave it some orange shellac and here it is.
I recently had another idea to have him help me complete a Fender Princeton project I've had around for some years. I basically have a pair of Princetons but a single cabinet to house them. Eddie was up to the task.

| Attention to detail |
 |
| Here's how it fit |
I was going to cover this in black or blonde tolex. Once again it was much too elegant to hide in wrap. Great work Eddie, much appreciated.

| Orange shellac just looks so nice. |
 |
| Isabella helped me do the oxblood grille cloth. |
 |
| Not the easiest thing, we did pretty good but not factory. |
 |
| I created a repro tube chart, based on the other tube chart. Look authentic? |
 |
| Here's both of them, 1963 vs. 1969 |
 |
| Still has that blonde look of sorts. |
