Top job mate!

Credit to you Ol, I think that's the first fire damaged cab I've ever seen saved! Job well done!

great rescue muddy, the pic with the T molding hanging down I kept thinking was a huge crack !! im amazed at the lack of water damage and outside of the burnt broken top section & wonky ass base the straighness of the wood in general !

lovely restore, excellent job

Things like this give me the motivation to get going on stuff and not just leave it in the corner. Bit of hard work and the results are amazing.

Nice one Olly, a lot of people wouldn't have given that half a chance, kudos to you for taking it on and finishing it

Wow a new Muddymusic restoration thread is always a good day. All the hard work has certainly paid off, the cab looks absolutely awesome. In fact it's inspired me to crack on with some of my projects. Top work as always.

That is an amazing restoration , just goes to show what you can do when you put your mind to it.

Wow, that's turned out pretty decent considering the state of it, you never know what your up against till you start on a machine

I really thought that Control Panel was going to be hacked up under the plate, that's a great relief and the sides have cleaned up amazingly well. The T Moulding is such a pain, be so nice to get some new that's like the original. I watched the video the other day at your place, pretty cool that was, if I ever get my place sorted It would be fun to get him over here too

Still really want to build rear seat part for mine, so many things I want to do and not getting round too, one day hopefully

Odd question, but do you know what brand the steering wheel used on the cabinet is? One that I have uses that particular design but I can't find a replacement as I have no idea what company made it or what cabinets it was often found on.

Yep, that's the same logo which is on the damaged wheel I have, no idea what the brand is, it looks like it says either IM or IME.

 

[Bods]

iME but can't find any info on them

What a lovely thing to see.

Excellent work. Have you ever seen a startup screen like this? It was stuck on a test screen before where only the steering would worked. Previously I reflowed the accelerator PCB, and pulled the ribbon cable near the edge connector and toggled the dip switches out of free play. Yes I bent the pins and bent them back..so I suspect it was my add to the problems.

@Syrup2407 fixed the PCB maybe he's seen the error before.
