Thanks for stopping by! I've been tearing things apart since I was but a wee lad... Fresh Old School is all about celebrating the "goods" of bygone years. Taking old blown out but hip stuff and giving it new life. Repurposing, refreshing, and renewing the things that others might just discard. Did you just score a deluxe old two-door post that's been rusting away? Or rescue an abandoned log house before it was used to toast marshmallows? Maybe you've got a sick old console radio that you want to modernize, or clarinet that your uncle was going to toss out... Whatever the story, if you've got an idea or a project: GO FOR IT!
Maybe you're just interested in what it's like to run a small business in a small town, or how to run a successful Etsy shop. If you dig anything vintage, throwback, old school or cars and guitars and music and like to see stuff taken apart: SUBSCRIBE to the FRESH OLD SCHOOL channel!

Minimoog Model D Complete Keybed Restoration of Vintage Moog Synthesizer
This 1974 Minimoog Model D had a broken key along with a completely unusable keybed when it came by the shop. I filmed the entirety of this tedious process for the benefit of anyone looking to rebuild a keybed on a vintage synth. Hopefully it will give you an idea of an organized workflow that will help you get the project done so you can get back to playing!
There are a number of sites still providing parts to service your keybed. I used Syntar and Rosin Sound for the various supplies needed.
At a minimum you'll need bushings and lubricant. I also had a broken key to replace.
Be aware that there are different keysprings for black and white keys. I had a box for each so they didn't get mixed...

The Terrible Truth About Shipping Tube Amps
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Год назад
After over a decade of shipping tube amps all around the world this is my preferred method of packing and shipping. If you are shipping a repair, take the chassis out of the cabinet and send it off. No need to ship a big heavy cabinet if you don’t have to. Any packages need to be inspected upon arrival and any damage needs to be documented right away. Sometimes processing through customs involv...

Hood Ornament Emblem Restoration Repair Cheap DIY for Pontiac Chieftain
what do you use to remove the glue on the tolex surface or clean it? Thanx, very very nice work!
So the video doesn't show how you cut the top piece with the cut out ?
Imma be honest, I'm too nervous to do this myself. Can I just pay for you to do it? I got two horn bezels and both are cracked. (I bought one only to find the other in my seat.)
I’m preparing to do a studio console( two racks with speakers, led lighting and piping.) definitely will have to get my adhd under control
4:14 … funny how just that chord with ‘chorus’, and a couple thereafter, made me think of So Far Away and Stop Your Fussin’ …
4:14 … funny how just that chord with ‘chorus’ on it, and a couple around 4:25, made me think of both So Far Away and also Stop Your Fussin’ … 🙂
So, let me ask this question. When I press most notes on my keyboard, it's like the glide is on., and that just pressing one note or any note. Not 2 at the same time. Is this due to dirty contacts on the keyboard keys. And, it's not on all keys but a majority. Some keys play normally. Thanks!
This whole operation would have been a lot nicer if it had audio to explain exactly what you are doing. I have 2 MiniMoogs badly in need of restoration. You obviously KNOW what you are doing BUT I certainly don't. Anything electronic is SCARY, even moreso without the knowledge to fix it.
Good opportunity to place some bearing cup grease while it is nice and easily accessible. Great job showing what you were up to.
Roland 808 shirt?
For "not a singer, not a songwriter, not a keyboard player" ... that was dang solid. Cool video, thanks.
That’s kind! I’m an enthusiast more than a performer. Haha. I just love these instruments and can’t keep away from them.
Can't thank you enough. I've learned.
That’s great! Hope I can help. I’ve been too busy to shoot more demos but hopefully soon I’ll have some better demonstrations.
Chris is by far the coolest most knowledgeable dude in Rhea County. His buddy Brad is cool too.
Wow! Haha. Thanks!
I really love these type of videos BUT, why don’t they ever start with “Step #1: Get yourself about 7-10 thousand dollars worth of woodworking tools and equipment” 🤣
Haha! I started with crap hand tools in the living room of my rental house in the hood! But that was before RUclips had anything on it but “Charlie Bit My Finger”. Now any bozo can show you how to hack stuff together with zero tools.
Love it! Seems my tweed inside curve where it splits has the filler patch underneath the main sheet rather than a little triangle on top. Who knows, maybe both were used depending upon the person.
My approach isn’t gospel!
Your approach is a pleasure to watch. I noticed also on my Tremolux, the herringbone pattern lines up perfectly on all seams.
Dude! This is the video I needed to see. Does this setup track pitchbend or vibrato?
No. You’d have to do that with a mod wheel or expression pedal.
The clearest demonstration of doing rounded corners. Thank you for making the video.
Glad it hit the spot! I build all the time and rarely take the time required to capture anything. So I appreciate the encouragement.
Have you ever covered an amp with canvas? Would you recomend it? I am building myself a combo organ and am considering using canvas instead of tolex as a budget friendly option.
Yes! I used heavy waxed army surplus green on a few amps. Look up “The Anvil” or the “Marshal Law” at the Deluxe Amplification website. You’ll see them. Canvas has threads that can pull out and run if you aren’t careful with orientation. So use a really sharp blade and change it often. You can also shellac canvas afterward.
@@FreshOldSchool Thanks heaps! Appreciate your help.
Will automotuve spray adhesive like headliner adhesive spray work? I have some laying around id like to use up
Hmmm. Maybe. Couldn’t hurt to try! The nice thing about tolex glue is that it can be reworked with a heat gun. Headliner adhesive might not. Been a while since I’ve used it. Back in the day tho… seems like I had a stable of cars that had sagging headliners that I repaired. The downside of that adhesive is that when you use it you’ll never remember the process down the road. Haha.
Awful presentation.
Very nice seam technique! I think I'll use a single piece until I'm good enough to hide 4 seams!
Thanks! I’ve got cabinets that I build that way. Some are crazy with the size of cloth and the number of hidden seams.
Fender case vid ? I have two with a weird stickiness due to faulty covering from factory but they are custom for the instruments so would love to recover. Or have to toss cause the finish is dissolving thru the covering.
Yikes. I’d try and save them if you can. If they are shellacked they probably didn’t dissolve real flakes but used something with waxiness in it. The real stuff isn’t tacky. You might get away with just a sealer coat.
Hi, thanks for the video. In what power do you have the Heat Gun, is it on 1 or 2?
I like to live on the edge so I go full power but you can really melt everything if you aren’t quick and careful. I’ve done a gozillion so I’m pretty comfortable skirting disaster.
our church has a hammond organ with leslie speaker that no current member remembers even being played. we want to get rid of it. what can we do with it? how to sell it?
Different models are worth different amounts. Condition is a factor. Without an organ to connect and test it you wont be able to get as much as you could. There’s a tag on the bag that says the model # if you decide to list it on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace.
I'll be making a first attempt soon. Thanks for a very good tutorial ... with a box-cutter, no less.
Nice! Use high quality blades and change them often throughout if needed.
This music, hat is it??????????????
Haha. I don’t know honestly. That’s all canned stuff I throw over it and don’t really take time to think about it. Haha. Sorry to disappoint!
Very informative tips! Thank you for sharing your tutorial!
Thanks! I’ve been slammed with builds but hope to get a few videos up soon!
I have a great fact about this Hammond model. It was originally modeled after the monumental telharmonium and it uses the same exact technology but way WAY smaller and with an amplifier on the speakers.
Woah! That IS a great fact! Now I’ll be obsessing over this for weeks!
Great job! This vid was concise and straight to the point. Very well done sir!
Thanks so much. These are hard to make especially as a one man show. I’m building all the time but rarely have the time or energy required to film it so I appreciate the encouragement!
The paper will be too heavy if you fill too much. It is better use low density sponge (EVA) to fill into the cabinet of amp. Other, it is better to plug out the tubes during you shipping it.
Mostly paper is cheap and if you use it well the tubes won’t shift. Pretty much all production amps ship with tubes installed. Once back in the day I sold a BF deluxe reverb on EBay (20 years ago) and I took the tubes out and wrapped them separately. Dude got the amp and said it was broken and wouldn’t work. Took it to a tech and wanted me to pay for it. Tech found a tube jammed in with the index key broken. So ever since then I just leave them in and pack the cavity well. Never had a tube fallout and I’ve shipped a gozillion since then.
Tolex is vinyl, which is highly toxic, especially when heated and in the form of micro particles. So heating up vinyl with a heat pistol and scratching it off is a very bad idea, health-wise
Man you should see them wrap a Lamborghini!
Just finished my Deluxe-sized cab using this tutorial - it was very helpful, and it's very challenging to get the cuts right. Also, he doesn't include gluing the top and bottom pieces, which were the most challenging - contact cement-wise.
Sorry! Glad to hear it was helpful. My camera probably quit and the footage was lost. It’s a Canon with 30min record limits. Boo.
It was a great demo; it would help to see if there was better light.
Yeah, sorry. I’m a pretty bad videographer! Haha.
I picked up a tube amp from 1992. It's showing its age and I wanna breath some new life into it. Beautiful tone still
Honestly I think a recover is the easiest mod on a 90s amp. Anything where you’ve got to take a printed board out is no bueno.
And when the external cover has an internal engraving in low relief? How to do this on the inside of the acrylic?
I’d probably invert the image (mirrored) and engrave it on the plexiglass first. The Pontiac is clear so I didn’t have to do that.
Really Nice Project!
Haha thanks! Can’t say I’ve used it a lot since then. Haha. But still fun to have around the studio.
Thanks for making this vid, my dog just chewed my AC15.
Yeah, my dog mellowed and quit that puppy stuff.
@@FreshOldSchool Lol yeah, she was still a puppy at that time. I got a baby gate to block off my amps now.
Any way to do this without the very expensive looking bunch of tools?
I started with hand tools so yeah it’s possible. You’ll still need to figure out the finger joints or dovetails.
Is it still plug and play with logic out the box?
Yup!
Where can I get trained to repair electro-mechanical instruments?
They’ve got DC circuits classes at community colleges everywhere. I used to teach at one part time.
Great video and awesome skills. You made it look easy! also considering this is cream tolex, it might get messy really easy if your work table has any dust or gunk. Clean work.
Thanks! These are movements I’ve done a gazillion times so no one should get discouraged if it’s not immediate.
What/where is the pin connector cord coming out of the Leslie connected to? Did you say you have yours plugged into a pre-amp? I have a Leslie 205 with a type 6148-1 built in amp. I'm not sure how to run a guitar through it. Thanks.
First thing I’d look up is Dr Fishsticks. He makes the cheapest/best entry level connectors to hook stuff into Leslies. If he’s got one for that model you’re golden. The Trek ii preamp I’ve got was expensive but it covers several Leslie types.
Is there anyway you can remake this video with an annoying buzz in the background and the background music drowning your voice out?
Haha. There’s always another crappy video around the corner!
insane how little explored or documented this kinda setup is. Thanks for putting it out there!
Thanks! I couldn’t believe that the internet didn’t have answers to this and that I had to guess and buy stuff. But, yeah! You don’t have to guess! It works!
great content!
Thanks!
hearing the background music, am I the only one who thought "dude's will step to you with a corny line, asking for your name sayin' what's your sign"?
whats that first song?
There are these things called “clamps”, that pull things tightly together so you don’t have to clomb on a table!
Haha. I use my sandwich clamps.
is fabric an option to cover cabs? i see companies like Morgan having that fabric look on their cabs, or is it still tolex with a fabric type finish?
Yes! You can cover them with whatever. Some are more transparent than others.
Thanks 👍
