What about an area of wooded land on Cannock Chase?

You can visit any time you like.

I can give you a real good deal for cash. :D

WOW! It IS rare though. I've only ever seen them in the 1960s videos of Cliff & The Shads. What a disaster having it painted black - blame The Rolling Stones for that! :lol: (Geddit?) I bought a MkI Copicat in Blue/cream which some cleverdick thought would look better painted silver! Obviously I knew before I bought it and it's still a project-in-waiting. I will be able to remove the paint with a lot of care. Perhaps it's protected the vinyl?
I really like that old TV-front AC15 so I might build one as a project one day - when I get a Round Tuit! I've partially built a V-front Watkins Dominator clone but the colours aren't much like the original. Barry Spong makes the cabinets and he told me that the original Watkins-type covering is still available from the original manufacturers - but you'd need to order 1000 metres of it to be worth them setting up the production rollers! He decided NOT to go that route!

I'm going to build an AC30 / 4 Chassis and fit it into my AC30CC1 cabinet which I'm going to fit a TV front to..

Lionel.
I have to tell you that Barry Spong who made the Dominator re-issues sadly died last year. The new Dominator project has been taken over by John Beer with Charlie Watkins official backing and he is producing some really nice hand wired amps, even better than the 60s originals. Go to http://www.amp-fix.com for details.
