A further update. I started to strip out the headbox.  Considering the door of the headbox actually has another bracket (containing all of the light sockets) within it (something I had not known before giving it a good look at) I decided to take a tonne of pics to assist me with the putting it all back together phase.  One thing that has really assisted me in this whole process is documenting everything via digital pics and keeping a laptop with the pin so I can view the records at anytime.






I noticed that the factory paint job on the inner lightsocket bracket was terrible and it looks like they only painted one side really
















The whiteboard is going to present me with a few challenges (as I am an amateur).  Do I try to strip the lightsockets, piano wire and looms and paint this gloss white or leave as it and clean it all up as best as I can with some Nifty etc?  Opinions would be welcomed here as I am really not very confident removing it all here.  On the flipside, I will remove the LED score pcb's and clean those
