It was missing the center silver piece on one knob, and I kept trying to figure a way to remedy the problem and came up with the idea of 50 cent pieces with the eagle side showing.

Turns out they were almost the perfect fit, problem now is I only had two with the American eagle on them, now I need to find one more. The face of the Amp is still in good condition but the case was a little scratched so I gave it a new coat of paint and did my best to mimic wood grain. It's a lighter color but I still like the way it turnd out. I don't plan on getting rid of it so as long as I'm happy with it that's all that matters. I still need to clear coat it, I have a nice Eagle sticker for the top of the case but haven't made up my mind if I'm going to use it. I'll post pictures of the finished product when it's complete.

Got the last 50 cent piece for the knobe, now I'm tempted to paint the rest of the Amp. I like the lighter color compared to the original I've already located a place to get vinyl lettering and I've already got an eagle sticker to replace the original, it will more than likely happen just not sure when. But this is it at the moment I know some won't like it but I'm pretty happy with it. But I still think I can do better.
