Got my V2 back from my tech today, so excited! He went through it methodically reflowing solder, changing caps, adding new toggles, installing new KT88s, adjusting bias, fixing the reverb jack, adding new (vintage correct) pilot lights, updating 3-prong plug, disconnecting polarity "death cap", and so on and so on. Nothing major but it needed a check up and it's 100% ready for the long haul now.
A good friend of mine retolexed the headshell and replaced all hardware and grill cloth. Then a local screen printer redid the control panel for me since most of the labeling worn off years ago and had since been replaced by marker scrawls. Couldn't find a good pic or pdf file anywhere of that V2 control plate graphic so he used my buddy's V4 as an example and created one from scratch using some graphic design program. Turned out super nice!
Here's a blurry ass photo of the before...

Man I want a Beta Lead.
Turned out well. Sounds so badass with the KT88 power section.

Also, this is pretty stupid. But, basically, all of my band's (actually, only what the guitar player and I own) gear.
7 15"s, 9 12"s, 12 10"s, ~1540W and a Nissan grille.

D'Avondon turns down his amp for the first time in a couple of hours. It's night. He forgot the time. After the wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee fades (ca. 5 min.), you can hear dogs barking in the whole neighborhood. D'Avondon looks at his watch - 3am! He rolls his eyes - damn those dogs - and then he rolls the volume back up and digs in.
