NAD Pro Junior USA

Post by Brock the Mod » Thu Jul 27, 2023 8:19 am

I picked up a Pro Junior on craigslist for 250$ . It was functioning, has a Jensen P (or Q or R), but was missing the back panel when I bought it. I thought it might be easy to track down a replacement (or a spare) but so far my searches have come up short and haven't gotten a ton of leads. I even considered just going to some amp cabinet builder and just get one made, but that might be a stretch given Im just getting one part and not a whole massive cabinet. I could just cut a piece of wood and just make my own back and shield it, but I'd like to avoid doiny any wood work :wacko: Any advice would be appreciated.

Have you tried asking your local Fender dealer if they can order it as a part/spare? (sorry if that's obvious)
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

No I actually didn't :D being that they don't really offer it as a replacement part anywhere I thought that might be a huge stretch. But maybe an email inquiry is warranted

It probably depends on how/where you want to use it and how nice you want it to look. If it gonna be played at home and not rough-housed too much, even a shielded piece of cardboard or foam core would do the trick in terms of shielding and safety. If you're gonna be taking it out and about and need something stronger that will protect the tubes you can cut a rectangle out of 3/16" ply and drill some ventilation holes and finish it nice enough. Its what I do on my combos, and have on a reworked Pro J before:

If you want it to be tweed.....well that's where it gets a bit more complicated.

Oh good I was hoping someone did something like this on here.

I don't really care if its tweed, if anything I wouldn't mind if it was just a nice brown stain of wood (I guess Pine for lightness factor?). The amp is in pretty rough shape cosmetically, so I'm not concerned about the looks really. I would just like to get the part ideally, but other then waiting for one to pop up on reverb or ebay, making one seems the best alternative.
