Good source for Fender cabinet parts?

Question

Posted

A storage locker clean-out uncovered a small box Bassman/Bandmaster 2 x 12 cabinet I had pretty well forgotten about.  The wood is good, but just about everything else (hardware, grill cloth, tolex) could stand to be replaced.  The hardware is badly rusted, some genius spray painted the grill black, and the more I try to clean the tolex the more I'm convinced that it has been spray painted too.

I'm not necessarily trying to do a dead-nuts restoration, but something close would be the goal.  I can do everything but the Tolex and I may even try that.

What I need is a good, comprehensive, reasonably priced source for all these corners, screws, tee nuts, etc.  The options seem endless after a cursory search but I've no idea who is reliable, has the stuff in stock, etc. Recommendations?

"Some" items Fender won't sell you anymore to avoid people counterfeiting vintage stuff.  I tried to buy a plate for my Blues DeVille 4x10 when I was restoring it, they said "NO".  The front logo plate was sold to me after I filled-out some paperwork....

Rickenbacker's that way, especially with the plastic truss rod cover/logo plate.  In order to get one, I think you have to contact them first, then return the bits of the old logo plate.  If you don't have it, you're SOL with RIC.  Parts sellers on FeePay DO have them from time to time, taken from the corpses of dead or parted-out Rickenbackers.

I wouldn't be surprised if e bay had some sellers, maybe not OEM though if that is a factor.
