Need SP600 JX-17 Front Panel Repainted
"Nelson Gietz" wrote in message ... wrote in message ... Need SP600 JX-17 Front Panel Repainted Does anyone here restore front panels on a SP-600 JX-17? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Rich KF2GG Rich, You can do the job yourself. I have the same model, and redid the front panel. As I recall I stripped it, and used emery and steel wool to get an even finish. I then used the nearest match I could find in a metal spray paint and coated the entire panel. The lettering etc is stamped-in on this one, so very careful work with a paint pen restored that. Over all, I clearcoated it. It may not be "exactly" correct in color, and may be a little glossier than original, but it looks very good. I wasn't trying for a museum restoration, though. Hope this helps. Nelson Some paint places have color analysers that can determine a mixture to duplicate samples. I've not heard of anyone using this for radio equipment but the idea occurs to me. Of course, the paint would not be in spray cans but brushed paint can be quite uniform and there are small, not too expensive sprayers. I wonder if anyone out there has tried this. -- --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |
