[R-390] Another CY-979A question

[Barry]

> Let me change the question. Does the CY979 use the skids??

I wondered about that.  Someone mentioned some "skids" that were nickel (?) 
plated and they should not be painted.  Perhaps some had them and some 
didn't?  Mine clearly does not.

The large skids (underneath the vibration mounts) is another thing, though. 
The ones on my cabinet are beginning to rust in spots.  I sanded on them for 
a while today, but they still don't look ready to paint.  Since they're 
steel, I'm thinking of having them sandblasted before painting.  I'm also 
wondering for durability's sake, if these might not fare better 
powdercoated.  The colors aren't likely to match, but they didn't originally 
so I wouldn't lose much there.
