The crappy S-76 I bought on Ebay arrived today.

These pics will make your eyes water: be warned!

I have another S-76, which I am very impressed with, and bought this
one to have some special fun with. My intention is to re-do the front 
panel and
case in some outlandish colour, put new lettering on, replace all the 
knobs,
generally go in the opposite direction to originality ... but to retain the
electrics and re-cap etc..

Suggestions for colour schemes, knob types, etc. are most welcome:
the more radical the better :-)
