    I just sold my JCM600 combo- bought it for $400, sold it for $600...:cool: And then bought an upgraded JCM900 head (previous owner had output transformer changed to JCM800 spec- old one was junk) for $400 bucks... The reasons he sold it to me so cheap were that a reverb cable was busted, and that the tolex is pretty beat up. Which brings me to my original question- Has anyone ever re-tolexed any gear, and if so, how hard is it to do? I also have a beat up Peavey Ms412 cab that could use a re-covering.

            ^If I did any different color, it'd be white- but I am probobly going with black- to keep the resale value up- Although I am really liking the amp...
