Want to buy new cabinet for Stage 73

[jimmymio]

I'm considering selling my 1972 Stage 73. The guts are in stellar condition but it is technically a
"student" version. It is in a cabinet with no closing lid and I don't think I'd be able to sell it this way. If I'm not mistaken the guts are identical to a Stage 73.
Does anyone know where I might find a new cabinet or a used one in decent condition?

Just giving this post a bump.
I know its a long shot but....

Hi Jimmymio,

They do come up for sale occasionally but they're usually only offered locally as opposed to Reverb or eBay. I'd keep an eye on your local Craigslist, OfferUp, and Facebook Marketplace and one should pop up eventually.

Alternatively, I'd consider trying to sell it as is first if the outside of the cabinet is still in good condition. Although not as popular, the student models are significantly rarer and some buyers might actually prefer how it looks now as opposed to the Stage.

Agree with all you said. However..... the case was really chewed up and I had a woodworking friend rebuild the case but one dimension is slightly off. I am just able to barely squeeze the guts into the new box but now the lid no longer fits securely. I may resort to having a custom lid built which would be about a 1/2" less wide than the original. Sucks.
