Now why in hell does no one want a K130? That's a fantastic speaker!
Maybe because it recently got reconed and lost its Alu-dust-cap in the process? Still a wonderful speaker! (I had to get a Celestion Fullback as substitute while it was gone - and I love that one too!)
Or maybe because Austria is rather a small country and the amount of Surf guitarists is vanishing small - and those might be purists and only play the D-130s... I don't know...

Very cool song! Are you using that Vaporizer live? I have the same amp, bought two of them when they were on sale at Thomann last year. It’s such a nice little amp, the 2x10“ cabinet makes it pretty loud for a 12w amp. I have never played it with a loud drummer so far, does it work in your band setup? Still enough headroom?

Thank you! ::)
No. Never! Our drummer is way too loud!
Live it could work when mic'd properly...but for rehearsals it got too little headroom. At least for me. I had it with me on a jam-session and I was turned all the way up but still got lost...maybe with another cab instead!

I used my supersonic 60 with the already mentioned 1x15 cab; normally with an extra 2x12 (all in cream/oxblood), but we were travelling with light luggage (limited space in the van).

Got it from Thomann too but already in 2014 - as the surf green one was already sold out in Vienna even though I made an reservation... payed 285 or so instead of 350 so it was okay for me... ;)

It took a while. And I had to disassemble the whole amp... but I was successful in solving the problem without taking off the cloth!

Once the baffle was out of that weird frame I started to lay flyer (from one of our shows a week back - so with no more use) between the wood and cloth and started to work it with textile cleaner - the one stain I was after was gone - but several lighter ones came due to the concentrated foam of the cleaner. I watered it carefully and worked the whole grill with a piece cloth. No visible stains left! Mission accomplished! ;D

I'd just buy some new grill cloth and staple-gun it back on there. 8)
Thanks for the input. That was already my idea some time ago... + making a matching weird surf green 1x15 speaker cabinet in a similar spacey optic... to put a use for the reconed K-130 speaker that no one wants to buy off me...but the Vaporizer has no external cabinet output jack...so what's to do in this case?
So no matching 15"cab?! :(
Wiring that up would be pretty easy I think.

Well, it's not sold yet. So hope lives!
If someone can help me with wiring and how to best add an additional (ext cabinet) jack - or what to do instead (should still can be played without the ext cab with no big effort!)
I might be able to build one! :)
It says minimum impedance 8 Ohm, the 2 10"s are 16 Ohm each and the 15" is 8 Ohm.
