Restoring my '77 SVT

[jimbei]

A few years back I decided to restore my retired '77 SVT which had been collecting dust in the garage. Got started, set it aside and didn't get back to it. I've now brought it into the house to finish the job, and have somehow lost the back plate between my first restoraion attempt and now. I've been googling around to try to find one with no luck. Does anyone know where I might track one down? The one FlipTops has isn't right for my amp.

If not, if anyone out there has the same model (it's a 1002) could you take some good pictures of the backplate for me? If I can't find one I'm going to make one ...

Thx!

That sucks, eh? Well I'm afraid there are no modern replacements yet. So the only thing I can tell you is to keep digging for it in your house or maybe you'll get lucky and find one on Ebay eventually after a few years

Yeah - it does suck. It won't turn up, I've turned my place inside out looking for it - it must've gotten thrown out in a garage cleanup. I have a buddy who has a metal shop who said he could make up a silkscreen and stamp me a new one if I could get a good picture. So I'm hoping someone will post one. I don't know anyone in town here who has the same vintage ... so I need to broaden my search. You'd think in all the pictures of these things on the web there'd be one good shot of the backplate for this model - but so far I've found nothing.
