What kind of cabinet is that?

Traynor Amps

The older 1510 from Traynor. At some point they were upgraded from 400W to 600W. Not sure which mine is, but I am unlikely to ever test the limits of its power. Its only sign of wear is that it clearly wasn't completely covered while painting. The latex paint can easily be removed. I think it was an absolute steal at C$200.

Wow, that's what they go for new? Really like the 15 and 10s combination in one box. How much does it weigh?..

I need to find one of these to attach to it.

I own an Epiphone T-Bird Vintage Pro, has anyone swapped out the tuners for ultralights? Looking for opinions or suggestions for the best direct fit without modification.
I also have a VP and someone here said Gotoh GB640 were a drop in fit:

They look pretty nice, but I haven’t checked the measurements to see if the screw holes line up. (There are detailed drawings with dimensions in the link) Please report back if these work.

I’m probably going to go with hipshot ultralights because I use a detuner for a few tunes in my cover band. I don’t think there’s a detuner that matches the GB640.

Of course installing ultralights leaves screw holes showing... I know lacquer, but I have no idea what’s best for filling holes in a poly finish.

You might take a look at Res-O-Lites, I think they have something that will work. I personally have not looked into doing this, but I think one of our group here did.
