[Hammarlund] Hammarlund SP400SX Front Panel Restoration

[DJED1 at aol.com]

Tisha has an interesting approach.  Wish I'd heard of it a year ago,  when I 
redid the front panel on a BC-779.  I stripped it down, then used a  brass 
Dremel brush to remove all of the old paint from the engraving.  This  did avoid 
the risk of damaging the engraving with a sharp tool.  I found  after several 
coats to finish the panel that the engraving was filled, so I  brushed the new 
paint out of the engraving and then used a couple of light coats  around the 
lettering and a lot of fine sanding to blend all the paint.   When it was all 
done and the engraving filled with a paint stick, it looks  great, but it was 
a lot of work.
I thought the SP-400 was stenciled, but  recently someone told me it has 
engraved lettering like the older  Super-pros.
