Found an almost new punching and binding machine on Shpock (digital local fleamarket) for 600 SEK (a bargin), this is a must have for making nice manuals and other cool bindings.
Now I can make a nice binding of the restoration.

Fore sale: A super nice Rockola 1448/1452 amplifier
I guess I have to register on Ebay and sell it there, almost impossible to found the right buyer here or on Facebook where I also have it for sale.
Price: $250
All tubes are tested as "Good" and are matched.
SOLD to Croatia!

Checking amplifier & power supply Tubes
I got a lot of tubes but I have no clue if they are ok or not.
At facebook I found a guy here in Stockholm that have a vintage valve tester and for a decent sum was able to test all my valves.
My Wurlitzer 2310 tubes was checked at the same time, and also some other tubes that I have.
Here is the result:

Two amplifiers found at a flea market
Recently someone sent me a couple of SMS photos of two Rock Ola amplifiers (one of them looked exactly as the rusty amp sitting in my 1458) in northen Sweden.
The amp's was for sale on a flee market for a decent price.
There was no information at all about the two amp's, but as said before the price was right and I took a chanse.......Well I think it was a great buy and both of the amp's looks really good.

Ohh, I almost forgot, it was a power supply also in the kit. Some Bubba/McGyver have got his fingers on the ps and made some "improvments" but overall it looked great.
I assume this power supply runs on 110V, not on 230V so I cant test the amplifiers.

Rechroming
The chrome was of course in a bad shape after many years in a barn.
I knew this would take a long time so the first thing I did was to strip the chassie from all chrome parts. I sent all parts to Belgium for rechroming in april 2016.
If someone told me at the time I sent the parts to Belgium that this process will take 13 month I would have sent the parts somewhere else!
But finely I got all parts back in june 2017 and the chrome work was great.
My first post......
Ok here it is on it way home (april 2016) to my garage where it will stay until I'm finished.
The seller cleans the wreck, with limited success, it didn't look better at all:-)
