beautiful just the way she is.
no prob with that ... my 84 VW diesel Jetta i feel the same way about ... a few warts on the outside, (the weather/salt here is more brutal than your neighbourhood) .. but it's still hanging in there ... only about 400 thousand Km to go to hit a million
This raised an interesting question ... at some point, I imagine that the original grill cloth on many of these old HW's will just start breaking up. I had a similar thing happen on my Gibson L5 ... early 50's ( I think ... as Gibson couldn't pin it down)
While it was sitting in it's case, the riser/saddle under one of the P-90's just fell apart ... disintegrated ... someday, I think the same thing will start happening to grill cloth ... what to do ? I don't know, but something to think about. My L5 spent probably 80% of it's time in the case since I bought it around 1970. ... e.g. not a lot of sun/light exposure .... HW grill cloth probably won't last that long ... on some of the older speaker cabs, the breakup could start happening at modest volumes
