There is a fellow in Wisconsin who supplies replacement enclosures for the

mine glass bead blasted and repainted (this was the gooey enclosure) or
replace it.
I have already tried Google............no results.

From what I've found out so far it seems the fellow in Wisconsin is out of them.

Guess you could contact Hartzell Manufacturing. They made the cabinets and they
will re-do them. http://www.hartzellmfg.com/

Worst case is trying to refinish it yourself I suppose.

Will let you know if anything else shows up today.

On page 5 of this .pdf document is some stuff regarding do-it-yourself repainting:

I also noticed something about Hartzell charging $25 for the repaint job so that may
be a good way to go.
