This weeks update,

I have finished the cabinet and have it ready for the stencils, the Spackulator worked a treat creating the speckle effect..
I made a video of it in action.. And I didn't get one drop of paint on me!

Really happy with how the cabinet came up so I couldn't put that dirty old transformer board back in it the way it was, after stripping it down and cleaning all the wires with baby wipes (these things clean dust and grime of anything) the board was sanded and coated in KBS. All the screws were polished in the rock polisher and the tranny brackets were polished on a bench grinder with a wire brush wheel. Now it's reassembled the next thing is to reflow all the solder joints and repin the connectors. I also noticed it is missing a Line Filter so I will grab one from Jaycar and connect it up.

Here are a few shots of the cabinet with speckle and a before and after of the tranny board.

Cheers: Brettski... :)

P.S.
Don't rush me with orders for the Spackulator!! LOL  :D
