Drake sticky paint????????? What is the significance of sticky vs
nonsticky Drake paint.

For a period of time, the paint Drake used on their 7 line that broke down
after time and became a sticky mess. The only real alternative is to strip,
prime, paint and bake the cabinet. I have seen some fixes for the sticky
paint and they all look to be a half fix at best. You can also send the
cabinets to Hartzell to get an original finish, but that solution os not
cheap. Anyone paying almost $200 for an MS-7 that is described as near
mint, certainly is not expecting to pay out another $75--$100 to get it
made right.


Dale... In RadioMart's world it was a near mint sticky paint MS7!
