My amp is missing its handle and it is a nuisance to carry it around without a handle.

Someone must have/make/sell reproduction handles for these amps. I just do not know who does and where to find one.

it took me ages to find this originally, so want people to support this guy

that place in Michigan is way to high on the $$$$

Try Reliable Hardware (ask for Gene ) ( www.reliablehardware.com ) and if they do not have them the can usually get them.

Check out their web site first -

I too found the http://machinistchest.com/site/products ... gory_id=57 site but it is $50!

I would probably grit my teeth and spend the money if I could verify the quality/accuracy. However I am wary of spending that much cash without seeing if it is an accurate good quality reprodution first.

This is essentially what the handle should look like.


It is a leather handle with a ball sewn inside each end of the leather to keep it captive under the handle-straps. My handle was entirely missing when I got the amp so I do not have a sample which can be replicated.

Thanks for the tip. I could not find the Gibson handle on the Tubesandmore site.

I will check tomorrow for you

well i got one for my eh-150, made according to the measurements of my original, handmade handsewn! looks great and sturdy, you get the little clips too, but maybe im prepared to spend more than others on my little baby!
