I havnt really taken a good look at this yet but some damage on the back panel of a Nitro Groindshaker cabinet looks like it is made of particle board. Is this normal for a Bally SS cabinet? Are all the Bally SS cabs made like this? Gonna have to change the panel out to fix it correctly but wondering what i am getting into. Thanks

Yes, many Bally back cabs were craparticle board.

Use the old for a template and replace with nice plywood.

Often the back of the cab, the back of the head, and the bottom of the cab is made of fibercrap.

I just built a backbox out of Aspen Ply a half an hour ago. I need to use a filler for the inside, but Sand ply or ACX ply is desirable.
Bottom line, pick a piece that is not cupped.

Yet another great piece of advice from Vid! Fixing a Bally Silverball Mania and headed off to get some plywood.
