Water damage - YAH!

Water damage - YAH!

It’s not as a bad as the Robotron that I am restoring but it’s bad enough, especially since there was no damage before.  Oh well, could be worse I guess.  Williams cabs seem to get it a lot worse than others (ok maybe not as bad as Qbert but still :) ).  Williams cabs come with leg levelers from the factory but I never seem to see anyone with them in use.  I will definitely be using mine with I convert this cab to a Multi-Williams.
