calling it The Tiger M25- re-coat

Post by **mhyde71** » Mon Apr 12, 2010 9:28 pm

done with mirror black on sink
and
silver vein base w/ plated gold on bottom/top covers.

Looks bad ass in person

I hate it how pic's never do any justice for this sorta stuff- but hey it's what we have to work with so here they are:

PLEASE NOTE: I will be doing cover over again
all came out great- even top cover- BUT there is a lil heavy-ness on the right edge of cover- I cant live with it like that
but once thats re-done- it'll be off to eric for new caps and resistors-

YES it's for sale- what$- not sure right now- get back in day or two

tough to match with anything though- BUT i just had to b/c it was laying around and getting in my way- wanted it out of the "to be done pile"

That's really, really nice.

Good job, Matt.

I want to say that I've seen that used on another amp from the early 90's but can't be 100% sure about it......

Looks good though for sure..... Just like mine, it needs the SC done.....

^ kinda thought same thing for short bit- kinda was a passing thought- BUT given you mentioned it too- i think you might be right...
BUT cant come up with which mfg- if this is the case

but see how on the cover to the top and right it is lil heavy...

kinda like a tigers birth mark- gonna have to re-do that

i have found that these candies need to be flipped in middle of curing so it (the PC) doesnt all run down to the bottom of the part as it is suspended from rack

hey- i'm learning

It has a funky 70's look to it, and it looks killer

Post by **mhyde71** » Mon Apr 12, 2010 9:54 pm

yeah! - needs some Mohair artwork & terminals

or bell-bottom terminals

or a picture of Chrisy & Janet & Daisy on the back of the sink
With CHiPS logo on upper left

Ok all I picture this going in is an oldskool dodge van with the tear drop windows, WITH THE BEE GEES JUST POUNDING.... as stated by hyde

Post by **mhyde71** » Mon Apr 12, 2010 10:04 pm

and they are on my ipod-
yeah i'll admit it- I have a couple '70's mix tracks- but nicemix tracks- 60 min long with samples of everything

damn
wish i had the loot to drop on a 100, 44, and a couple 25's to tiger up and run the bee-gee's and ELO-

well not really-

BUT would be neat to bounce back to 71

marko · Post by **marko** » Mon Apr 12, 2010 10:19 pm

oem gold, black would be too much i think..

Post by **Rold Gold** » Mon Apr 12, 2010 10:22 pm

But where are the EOM gold's available for the rest of the amp......?

Post by **mhyde71** » Mon Apr 12, 2010 10:23 pm

okay- will throw those in and see how it looks
mayyy-be tomorrow but here shortly
need/want to do cover over again first
whilel i hear ya- i am lil concerned about the gold clashing a lil- BUT with the front/face having the gold screws- maybe it will tie in nicely to have all gold screws used. so perhaps you are right

Matt, dont feel ashamed about the Electric Light Orchestra, I grew up on that shit, my old man had, and still has a huge vinyl collection. He just bought a brand new turntable because he didnt want to get rid of his collection. I remember rockin out on the 4+hour drive to grannys house, in the old mans 72 dodge dart swinger the 8 track player loaded with the Doobie Bros!

Jesus is alright with me....
