Tolex/leather care for a 2ch Dual Recto (Ref F?)

[kapteinknirk]

Hello!

I just purchased a 2ch Recto! Alltough it is in a pretty good condition, It has some minor battle scars from normal wear and tear, and I was thinking of threating the leather/tolex.
Any tips out there regaring what products to use (or NOT) for this purpose? I just want to cover up some of the cuts, and make the leather look fresh

The serial on this guy is R-2263, and this makes it a rev F, does it not? (Small logo, attached powe cable...) oh, and also, it has some big rectifier Sovtek 5u4g tubes (also labeled MESA Engineering)... are these the original rectifier tubes?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if the cosmos cares about one little guitar amp but what the hell do I know. :wink:

A damp cloth for washing the dirty bar smell out and leather furniture conditioner for the leather/tolex.

I just bought a Blue Angel and the covering was in good shape but looked weathered (for lack of a better term). I tried a little shoe polish on the bottom to see how well it would work ... it worked great! I applied shoe polish to the rest of the amp, and it looks almost new.
