Since the Message Board broke, I have acquired, repaired and restored two more Music Man amps! Both of these amps were acquired on eBay.
First, I got an HD130 head (no reverb) that needed new badges, new grillboard, grill cloth, new rear panel w/tolex and required a repair to its ground system and general cleaning and contact treatment.
My latest amp was a 112RD-100. This amp is the newest model Music Man I now own. It required minor repairs (new pot, cleaning, contact treatment), new knobs, chassis straightening, new rear panel and all new Tolex and grill cloth. It looks like a new amp!
Since this amp did not come with the original chassis straps, I had to substitute some chrome straps from a plated "U" clamp set. They look fine and do the job. This amp really kicks butt! It came with a Peavey Black Widow loudspeaker which can handle all this amp can dish out.
