Well I tidied up the bottom panel including replacing all the fuse holders. I also sprayed the transformers black again and also spray painted the metal braces that hold them, they were beyond any hope of tumbling or hand polishing. Only thing left now is to put a new EMI filter on as per Nino's advice.

I have also made a decision on how to deal with the cabinet. Yes I am going to fix it up but I am not going to use a stencil, instead I am going to use the massive role of frisket that I already had..... Yes a different approach.
The one dodgy side of the cabinet is the toughest since I can't fill and sand it too much since I still need to see the image to cut the frisket. And yes doing it this way means cutting each side out from the frisket 3 times (one for each colour), but it's ok I have enrolled the wife in to help so it's not so bad
Yes I was slack and didn't take the rails off either. lol
Wish me luck as I have NFI how this will turn out. Although my early progress on the front of the cabinet is promising. The black turned out well and I got the speckling replicated nicely too with a toothbrush and comb. Will post pics once the yellow and orange are added.
