Well, thanks to Trent at Mesa Boogie, I was easily able to get the parts needed to get my Maverick 2x12 back to being the way it should be. I got new sticky foil for the top, new foam rubber, and some other bits and bobs that were needed.
The Grill, as far as I can tell, is not the original grill for this Maverick combo shell. It definitely does appear to be a Mesa Boogie grill, and matches other Maverick grills I have seen, so I would guess that some swapping happened a while ago. The grill I have was screwed in from the back, but the cabinet definitely had a grill screwed in from the front. Well, I fixed that by drilling the screw holes through on the combo, and screwing the grill in from the back. I had to take out the reverb tank for that, and noticed that some 212 Mavericks have it on the left, and some on the right.
I had to make some new screw holes in the grille to match the cabinet.
Now the grille is seated, and ready to screw in. Thankfully I have a long reach No.2 Phillips driver, which makes it VERY easy to screw in while holding the grill flush.
Next up is the catastrophe of the shielding.
This shows how far it was pulled off by previous owner(s). This also involved pulling it past all of the staples as well, and it tore around the anchors for the handle.
