Hi There,

My '72 Hiwatt custom 50 needs a backpanel as I bought it without... Any idea ? If possible in Europe but no problem to buy it from US of course.

Thanks,
Fabien

We could get you dimensions and you could make your own. The back panels were just 1/4" plywood, covered with vynide and screen.

Last time I was in Hiwatt Valley, I thought I saw a couple of prototype back panels in the VHR warehouse. Not sure if they are available (only Dr.Hiwatt knows for sure 8) ) or if shipping to France would be too expensive for that option.

there was a stack of them but I don't know if any had the screens in them.
These are Vintage correct dimensions circa 1972.

I'll be out in the shop quite a bit the next three days. I'll see what I can find.
