I bought a Tour TNT 115 when they first came out. I was looking for fairly cheap good sounding power and the 600W, 15" Neo speaker and external cab potential attracted me. The GC deal was good so I went with it. I gigged with it for 5 years or so until I started to go direct into our new digital PA and it started to gather dust in the garage. It is a totally impractical amp for gigging....heavy, odd shape, curved front and the kick-back design makes it impossible to add casters. It shows lots of battle scars but never let me down once. I sold it on FB Marketplace to a guy who was going to remove the battered tolex and spray on bedliner material. Here's how it looked when I sold it...

The guy sent me pics of his restoration efforts. After he disassembled and removed the tolex the whole cabinet including the speaker baffle turned out to be MDF board.

He wasn't happy with the MDF for obvious reasons so the guy ended up building up a whole new cabinet using 3/4 inch cedar plywood. Impressive carpentry skills!! Here is the new cab.

Pretty darn impressive. He had this completed the day after I sold it to him. It will be a one-of-a-kind for sure. He still plans to do a bedliner type overspray and owes me a picture of the finished product which I'm anxious to see.
