Meh, it had just been well used and time had taken its toll. It's not a problem anymore. It looks as good as new now.

I was thinking of replacing all the wiring too, man. You think that'd be okay? I've never really done this before, but I can handle a bit of soldering...

if you can match gauge and color I would...its not all original now..even though maybe just as nice...so if done right it won't hurt the value any....

It wasn't a big investment and I'm obviously not so worried about it retaining value with the collector crowd. If that was the case, I would've never sanded it down and baked new paint onto the heatsink. This is basically a pet project at this point. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I was thinking of replacing the wiring with some expensive stuff and adding tech flex & nice connectors too. Basically, I want this amp to look brand new when I'm finished with it.

Having a vinyl decal of all the lettering on the amp made has crossed my mind as well. If I do that, I can resurface the back plate and keep all the original text.

I would replace the caps while you're in there as well.

Those are one of the first things that degrade over time.
