800RB carry handle

[Kassel]

Picked up a wonderful GK 800RB head this weekend but it's missing the side carry handle. Any ideas on how I can find one or thoughts on crafting a replacement?

HANDLE 6.5" (Screws included) - gallien-krueger.com

Looks like the right one to me, though I'd call GK to confirm (not email) before purchasing.

Enjoy an awesome, classic amp!

(FWIW, this is my handle of choice for my GK RBs: Shallow Racks | SKB Industrial Military)

Oh, thanks so much! I'll get that handle for sure. Love that rack, too. Just found a pair of legit rack ears (full side panel replacement with ears) on Reverb so a rack would be great. Is it light and inexpensive?

That line of racks is my favorite that I've used. It's relatively light, has all clasps on the lids (critical), has a full size back opening, and isn't overly expensive as far as rack cases go... but certainly more expensive than an $8.00 handle!

It provides much better protection though, primarily for your knobs and amp settings, and also allows you to store your speaker and power cables in the back.

Yeah, it looks cool. About 10 pounds and $139 as far as I can see. I may do it eventually but stay with the strap handle for now. Thanks again!

I assume the 6.5" must be overall length because screw to screw seems a little less-but I may have measured 7.5 by error.

Seriously, call GK - Jason will be able to confirm the part is correct most likely. They should be open right now!
