Help Restoring Dynamo Cab

Pages: (1/3) > >>

brained:

Hi all, I recently bought an used empty Dynamo Cab and I have a couple of questions:

1) The back left side of my cab has grown a little due to water damage, it's 3/4 particle board and it grew to 1 1/2 inch thick. But just the back part of the Cab. The front Is ok!. I've seen some people that use bondo to fix this issue.

What shall I do??? If there any ways I can save that without replacing the board???

2) My cab is covered with black rugged vinyl, on the inside and the outside. should I paint the cab??, or remove the old vinyl and apply some new one. What about the inside part... If I want to replace the ones inside I need to dismantle the side boards, I think

Please give me some light, and suggestions!!, I'll post pictures of the first question when I get home from work.




metahugh:

I have a Dynamo cab in the same condition, the sides appear to have quite a bit of water damage.  They have expanded at the edges.



It appears to have some type of thin paper like covering that is coming off.  Since it's particle board underneath I felt that painting would be a pain, plus the sides would get damaged easier.

I am going to purchase the roll of adhesive vinyl that Happ sells and cover the sides.  Will same me quite a bit of time and will be more resistant to bumps and bruises.

If you want to purchase the vinyl from the link I provided just wait a second and the rest of the page frames will come up giving you the purchase links.

MAME nut:

I had water damage on the bottom 2" of my cabinet.  I simply cut it off, put a new bottom on, and then installed wheels to make up for the difference.

My Dynamo cab was in similar shape. Here's what I did to fix it.

Tailgunner, you did a Helluva job there NICE!!!!.

But i think my back panels are a wider than yours, but anyways I can just sand it down and then bondo right???

Ohh can u show me the Control Panel, I wanna see it. Ohhh should I dismantle the side panels and apply new vinyl to them on the insides.??
