Tube amp cabinet maker
« on: Feb 18, 2014 at 07:54 PM »
In the process of reviving an old Fisher amp of my father. Would anybody know a reputable cabinet maker in Manila area or nearby province for tube amps as I have lost the old one

if you need a wooden one you can inquire to a shop who makes wooden doors nearby your place to customize one for you or if you happen to know a good finishing carpenter it will be easy for him to make one. If aluminum casing you cam PM master tonyT he knows a place in manila area. where are you located BTW sir? If you are near marikina I can recommend a friend.

Thanks for the reply guys...Im in Makati during workhours, Laguna at night.  I was thinking somebody might know somebody in the audio circle that might do it on a sideline before I go to a carpenter

@remington thanks sa offer.  Can you pm me the contact details?

PM kit_art. He builds speakers. But carpentry is carpentry.  He stays in Marikina I believe. Closer to you is Anthony of A-audio. Sisiw lang iyan if he has the time. A nice wood veneer will be wonderful. Just remember that the old case had an internal frame to allow air around the amp. The outer part is basically a 1/4 inch skin.

Where in Laguna are you and what kind of cabinet do you need?
I went fishing the other day, and I caught a BIG ONE!
