Hi Mike: My former T1 RVT is of course now Coastie's T1 RVT; pics below from the re-build thread; all particle board including baffleboard. Upper center left is the cross-member from the back edge of the chassis, up to just below the 'D' handle, and then down ending in a fork that slotted itself over the bass tone control.
The only way to hold it in place was the pressure provided by the outer bass pot retaining nut pinching the fork between the pot and the back of the faceplate. Over the years, the pressure had crushed the pot, I replaced it before it left however I put the wrong value pot in ... the correct in the air to NZ as I type.
The funky suspension in the V1 T1RVT was fixed in the V2 with chassis straps and the vertical metal back panel acting like a stiffener:
The unprotected, particleboard 'ears' were cut back in the V2 (and on Coastie's amp):
Ain't just me unhappy with some of these details; apparently Guild didn't like them either and changed them in the V2. :wink: cj
