Hi Derek, who done the re-covering job on the NV 112? Looks superb. Costly?

Ted, checked my costs for amp and speaker cab, it was £25 for grille cloth and about £32 for enough Tolex to cover both.Tolex can be purchased from Allparts UK, or from China on EBay.All that is needed then is some sand paper to rub down cabs and some good contact adhesives. I did two, an old Peavey Nashville 400 cab, and one Mr Gamble and I did for my MB200 with Sica 12 inch speaker.If doing it try and peel old vinyl off in one piece , that gives you a good template for new covering.Just take your time, not rocket science, should give you good job( the Americans tend to then give it a couple of coats of shellac Amber finish) .
