Tube tester covered with Tolex
#7

With the Electronic part of this restoration finished, I have moved on to the cabinet. The hardware is rusty. Some of it cleaned up nicely with the wire brush on my Dremel tool. Some didn't. The tolex appears to be fairly poor quality, and the install not so good either. I am debating on recovering or re gluing. Several tears and cracks, corners torn off, etc. AES has some hardware, like the feet and a handle, but I haven't found any hinges or latches. Does anyone know where I can find these items? Or even what terms to use for internet searches? This isn't for show, but I do want it to look decent.

If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything" Icon_confused
