The Acoustic Club

[Northern Pike]

Hey Tim!
Nice to see you here. You're gonna get a lot of love here! :^)

Following up a previous post, here's my old Yammy (with D140F). I put my 470 on top, to keep on topic.
Happy Pandemic!

A Northern Pike said I should say hi over here. I have been an Acoustic fan since high school...!(when they were new the first time). I just acquired this pair of 361's, I'm halfway through recovering and refreshing one of them..I also have a pair of 370's that are going through the tolex mill as well....gotta love this time off...I have also held onto an 880 mixer...a rocketship in it's time!View attachment 3837149View attachment 3837123 View attachment 3837131

Amazing!

I'm going great guns on re-tolexing the cabinets and haven't stopped for many pictures...some to come..I am doing two 360 cabinets and two 370 cabinets, both 360 heads, and a 370 head. I can't thank the Corona virus enough for allowing me to have this much free time.

Thanks for the tip on the finger pulls. Just what I needed.

Me too! Nice work! What kind of glue did you use?

Owned by Mark Egan. Cool!

Wilsonart H20 contact cement.

Thanks for the compliments! It's a real labor of love...finding the 361's really got me inspired. The 370's have been in storage for years...I failed miserably in a re tolexing attempt years ago...I used regular contact cement and after about a month, the material shrunk and pulled away ..I was within hours a couple of times to just shoot the whole mess with Soundgard textured paint and be done with it, but just couldn't find the time.

The new odorless latex contact is just amazing.

 

[Tim Rinkerman]

Well, I got the 370 cabinets and head done. The 301 cabinet is alot more work to recover than the 360...
I'm having a hard time leaving the stock wiring in the 361's...zip cord and Molex for 120 volts with no ground to be seen anywhere with non polorized 2 wire plugs doesn't inspire confidence. I really want to replace the strain relief and 2 wire ac receptacle with in and out Neutrik Power cons..removable grounded cords and proper jumpers. I think a turn on delay for the bottom may be a smart move as well..as cool as the turn on thump may be, it can't be doing the speaker any favors..!

 

[Tim Rinkerman]

This is how the power gets in and out of the 360 heads now...sorry, purists...dragging stuff around with the power cords attached is a PITA..

Good for another 50 years. One hell of a nice job you did
