I wrote to Conrad and said.....

    I am trying to duplicate the look of the original Sunn amp cabinets on one I want to build. Do you remember what that radius was (back in the 60s)? I remember it being smaller than the Fender (et al) amps which was 1/2". I'm guessing it was 5/16"

    What are you using on your modern amps?
    It looks like 1/2" in the pictures. Anything other than 1/2" is extremely hard to find. Do you sell corners for the original Sunn amps?

    Thanks

To which he answered....

Hi Greg,  The original radius on the Sunn cabs was a little too small for the corners used.  A 1/16th (I think he meant to say 7/16) would have been better.  Whiteside does make a 7/16ths round over bit with a 1/2” shank.  They are available at Woodcraft.

I do sell the Sunn corners.  2-leg are 1.10 each and the 3-leg are 1.20 each.

I use a 7/16th bit or a 1/2” bit depending on the tolex.

Hi, Ed,

Like an Italian interior decorator...

"Oh, my God. There's a corner without a statue or a fountain!"

Cool room. Always hated Kustom (with a K - perfect!) amps, but the metalflake wall on Glee has made them pretty cool -- campy but still knida cool.

Funny how time changes things. Now I can even listen to Bee Gees disco songs without throwing up (but I still don't listen).

Warmest regards,
