  • Egnater Rebel 112x Logo Replacement

    Hi Folks,
    Recently, I came upon an Egnater Rebel 112x cabinet thanks to a very generous gentleman who shall remain anonynous. The cabinet is in great shape, but the plastic Egnater logo has part of the "E" and the entire "g" missing. SInce egnateramps.com appear to be no longer in business, I emailed Bruce Egnater for help to locate a replacement but haven't heard back in several days. Consequently, I am seeking help within this forum, and would appreciate if somebody could point me to a source where I might find a replacement.

    This is a link to a pdf version of a bench test https://images.thomann.de/pics/atg/a...ar_egnater.pdf and shows the logo on the cabinet on page 2. The logo itself appears to be held onto the cabinet grill via several cylindrical plastic pegs integrated into the logo. There are no screws used in the installation and the logo is basically pushed into position.

    I apologize to the admins if I am not allowed to post links to an external site. I am unable to post pictures due to upload restrictions.

    Thanks for your advise in advance!

    Personally, I'd just take off what remains and leave it without a badge. If you're dead set on getting one, you might go through a dealer. They'd probably have better luck getting a response. However, expect it to be marked up and expensive.

      Is it like these? A few of them have sold on Reverb. I think Reverb or ebay are the most likely sources.

        I found those too, g1. But, I couldn't find anybody with stock and I doubt they're made anymore. You could probably 3d print one, but you'd have to have one to model. I've also seen guys make a mold out of silly putty and use epoxy to make badges. All of this seems like a lot of work for something that isn't a vintage restoration anyway.

          Probably one of those things you have to set up a search for and wait. An ebay search for a motorcycle nameplate I set up 5 or 10 years ago came good this year.

            They are selling them on eBay but in black for $12.99. So spray paint it white. Personally I might elect to throw a Maytag or KitchenAid or any badge for fun. I like the spray paint idea but a John Deere amp would rock.

              Thanks for the quick replies gents, yes I did find the Reverb ads for stuff that was sold in the past. Wish there was one on sale!
              I also agree with the dude, this isn't a vintage restoration, just me wanting to get equipment back to the state it was originally. I guess I'll keep on the lookout for one that may popup for sale.

              One of the ads mentioned all the logos are of the same size, which gives me an idea. As I do have a Rebel-20 with an intact logo, I might be able to use it to recreate the missing pieces using some type of 3D printing.

              Thanks one again for taking the time to respond.

                Thanks for the ebay find DrGonz78, I can definitely spray paint it to the right color, if it has the pins on the back at the right locations.
                I cannot determine if there are pins on the back and have sent a message to the seller, who appears to be located in Kazakhstan.

                  Let us know how it turns out. I for one am curious about the results. Maybe the guy’s name is Borat?

                    Update: Got a response from the supplier after a couple of days.

                    #1: He's not called Borat
                    #2: The part does not include the required pins for installation.

                    I think I'll just let the remaining logo live out its days as it is.
