Wow, Lyle, that is some transformation! Its good to see that the rust didn't eat through the metal anywhere. Also I need to say its lovely how deliberate, thoughtful and respectful you are in your approach to these old amps... its wonderful to watch you work.

Well, the outcome was worth all the trouble. I cannot wait to see the results in part three of this spine-tingling trilogy. So, it will be called Bassman III. (this time it's personal). These installments have looked arduous, but I enjoy the fact that your perseverance is shining through it. Bring on part III! Enjoy your weekend.

Awesome job! Amazing to think that this amp has 'lived' for 57 years and was then nearly out of the game for good, but now gets its re-birth documented for posterity. Whoever owns this one in 2066, will have a great amp and some amazing footage to look back on!
