Anyone know reliable source that doesn't charge a small fortune? Just looking to replace a Shiva shell and Bogner doesn't sell them separate.

..... Or how tough is it to recover? Mojo seems to be reasonable on materials.
 
I was going to say Mojo. They can do custom work too, you just need to ask.

Really? I bought a headshell direct from Bogner before. They are kind of pricey though.

Lopo, Mather and Splawn do nice work for nice prices.
 
Recovering isn't impossible by any stretch....sorry bad pun. But it helps to have the tools. A roller, heat gun/hair dryer, utility knife, straightedge, etc. And the Shiva, with no corner protectors...those corners are a tricky cut that requires some practice. In the end if you only need it done this one time it is probably worth the money to pay a pro IMO. But if you want to learn how to do it for some reason...buy some tolex from mojo, practice on a crap cab and then go for it.
 
There's a guy who used to hang out here lives in Ohio. The work I've seen of his is really good, in terms of recovering cabinets. Can't remember his name though.
