I agree with you, I avoid it if I can but sometimes there just isn't a 
choice.  This one had a totally hosed panel that someone had painted 
over.  I think it turned out well.

Sometimes I will remove the front panel take all of the hardware out and 
scrub it with pumas  to restore the luster  many times that works as 
well as repainting.

This particular r-390 is the smoothest tuning 390 I have ever owned ... tom
