Does anyone have, or know of, a business that will repaint and re-

have an SB-401 with a faceplate that--no pun intended--could use a
facelift.

Concerning Heathkit paint, I know the signature green color actually
varied over production runs; however, was it always applied as a
wrinkle finish? *I’ve seen pictures of SB Series equipment that, to
me, appear to have a matt finish.

Prior to, I think, 1967 or so the non-wrinkle finish seems to be what
they used, and post-1968 or so it seems to be a wrinkle.

My data point is that HG-10B's always have a wrinkle finish, and
HG-10's don't. Same for DX-60B's vs DX-10's. Some have even told me
that the ONLY difference between the HG-10B and non-B version is the
paint job!
