  • Vox SS Pacemaker V1022 question

    I'm making a replacement upper back baffle for a SS Thomas/Vox Pacemaker V1022 for a missing original, and here's my question:

    This amp has the E tuning oscillator, so should the access hole for adjusting the oscillator be visible with the baffle in place or not?

    I ask because I've been given two different measurements for the cutout in this baffle. One hides the access hole, while the other makes leaves it accessible with the baffle on. I'm trying to figure out which was more vintage-correct, if such a thing is possible.

    Thanks!

      It would be very odd for there to be access to adjusting the E-tuner. I have some of the other amps with that feature, and none are adjustable from the outside.
      Amazing!! Who would ever have guessed that someone who villified the evil rich people would begin happily accepting their millions in speaking fees!

      Oh, wait! That sounds familiar, somehow.

        I've now made the replacement panel, using the measurement that leaves the E-tuner adjustment accessible, as in the Vox Showroom photo.

        Next question:

        I've used Tolex before, and I know how to do outside corners, but I've never had to do an *inside* corner before, like the two corners in the cutout of this baffle. The baffle material is 3/8" thick, like the original, so you end up with a 'V' that's not covered if you cut the Tolex at 45 degrees at the corner.

        Is the only way to handle a corner like that to cut a small piece of Tolex for the corner and glue that on first?
