I've started yet ANOTHER SB-303 fixup, although this one does not appear
to need that much work.
I got it yesterday's Howard County Hamfest. When I popped the cover, I
saw that the critical electrolytic caps had been replaced, except for
the big one, that one looks original.
No dents or extra holes but the edge of the cabinet has scratches on it.
The cabinet desperately needs a repaint. Glen, what's the best way to
do this? I have several round 'n greens that need repainting, most are
grey.
I've never repainted a radio and I'm afraid that I'll end up clogging a
hole. Anyone have any tips for this.
I also have an SB-303 cabinet that someone ground the paint off. Then
they shot it with an aluminum primer. I do the "trial" on that one. If
I just shoot that one, it'll turn out gloss or flat and not wrinkled.
Is there a special way to prep the cabinet for the wrinkle? Can "OK"
cabinets just be oversprayed to "freshen" up the color?
I've decided that Tuesday evening will be my radio repair night. If
someone can give me tips on the paint to buy, I'll do my painting
tomorrow night.
Thanks,
