Sometimes A Project G comes along that is in a very bad state. This one had most of its interior removed and the exterior was badly damaged. The speakers were not in terrible shape but did need to be 'un-dented' and the Elac 10H turntable was still with the unit and working fine. The damage done when someone ripped out some of the original interior structure. The damage done when someone ripped out some of the original interior structure. Attaching new parts to the remaining interior pieces of the 'Found' G. The piece with the blue dot on is the front face plate of the amp housing which was made before the interior work began. Rebuilding the framing of the record storage box. Wood filler was used to fill the small gaps of the new build and the original body of the 'Found' G. This filler would be covered with new pre-ban Brazilian rosewood. Rebuilding the amp housing of the 'Found' G Rather than patch in new veneer to the old rosewood I decided to re-veneer the entire interior (not the interior sides however) with authentic, pre-ban Brazilian rosewood that was nearly identical to the original 'Found' G veneer. The interior of the 'Found' G fully rebuilt and re-veneered. One of two amplifier brackets that had to be rebuilt as well Rather that risk damaging the original veneer with stripper I decided to sand it by hand, a long process and one best not done in the office. With the Project G's, Clairtone applied a light coat of red stain to enhance the rosewood figuring. It took some time to track down a good substitute for this stain but managed to do so. After sanding off the old damaged varnish and stain a single coat of new stain was applied. The interior of the 'Found' G after the rebuilding, re-veneering, staining and varnish. The only original interior component of the 'Found' G was the Elac 10H turntable - this one features the less common 'hammer tone' finish. And like all Elacs, it worked fine. This was not the original amp of the 'Found' Project G as it had been long missing. This particular Project G amp was found in Halifax, Nova Scotia and itself needed to be completely re-lettered and most of it's electronics repaired/replaced.
