Replacement control panel for Peavey Classic 50

Post by Staffy » Wed Sep 29, 2021 12:11 am

I'm looking to refurbish my aging Classic 50 soon. I've already figured out I can't get the handle so I'll likely fill the holes from the current one and replace it with something else. The tolex is knackered so I'll probably stain the timber rather than going for me tolex. But I would like to put a new control plate on if they're available. Anyone know where I can get hold of one? I'm in Australia so would need it shipped here.

I haven't seen one lately, but isn't the "control panel" just the chassis with silk screened lettering? Meaning you'd need a whole ne chassis and then transfer EVERYTHING over to it. And that assumes the chassis is even available still. After all the amp is about 30 years old, right?

I've actually no idea! If it is part of the chassis then I guess that idea is out the window!

Well, look closely. Take the rear cover panel off if you need to. Either the printing is right on the chassis, or there is a thin top layer to the panel.

I got mine from Peavey Parts Dept years ago when I did a resto on my Classic 50. It is a separate control plate. Thread might be on here still if you search for it. I doubt you will get one from the parts dept now as thats gone down the tubes so to speak. Good Luck.
