Kill Me If You Must
Alright everybody.
I went through a long period of trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with my 210HD 130 (which was ultimately never resolved, long story, look it up in the maintenance thread) and while the chassis was out (for over a year, I was across the Atlantic for the first half of 2015) I decided to go ahead and redo the tolex and grill cloth because they were both a little worn. I know everybody here is about preserving the Music Man as they are... but how'd I do.

Is that what I think it is?
Hey.. What's that in the background right above the power switch and amp light? Is that an old Sears Silvertone 150 watt amp head? Wowzers, I had one of those back in the day when I was in High School. (all the old memories come rushing in..) 150 watt transistor head, 6-10's speaker cabinet, face full of pimples, bell bottom pants, and covered with Jade East cologne. Perfect..
Oops, apologies for going off topic, old guy rambling. You did a nice job restoring your amp and if you like it then that's all that matters. "When you start worrying what other people will think, is when you become their prisoner." (read that somewhere, prolific eh?) Dave.

It is! It is!
Well to be really specific... it's the 100 watt version. Silvertone 1464. That model was the first amp I ever bought. Got it at a guitar store in a straight trade for this terrible vox solid state bass amp. Had the matching cabinet and everything. Mint condition. Beautiful amp. I sadly sold it because I wanted a 100RD (still regretting that to some extent) but I had the opportunity to pick just the head up at a yard sale for $10 recently (and it included a JBL D130F, Holy Grail, and a DOD Phaser all for free) so I think I did okay.
I really like the way the amp looks. I can't say I did the best job on the top of the amp (cut the top seams before I glued ugh) that top piece might need some re-doing at some point, but I really like the way it looks. Not every amp in the world needs to look flat black and aggressive as hell.

OH-- MY____GAWD! Not my cup of tea but if you're happy, go for it. Think I would have picked something besides flowers though! Mike.
