Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! I told myself I'm not going to restore any more cabs because of the time and energy that went into my other 2 restoration jobs but I couldn't pass this one up.
Someone local to me posted this Type II cab for sale with a spare monitor and chassis and since the monitor on my Super Neo has been looking funny I decided it was worth it to grab everything to have a spare for my current cab and finally have a dedicated Naomi / Atomiswave cab instead of having to mess with mobos and psu's.
It originally came from an operator Okinawa and the sea air has not been friendly to it at all. Chunks of the front cover panel broke if you looked at it funny but the main body seems to be doing ok for the time being. There will be parts around the bottom that will probably break away during the restore so I may have some missing chunks in the final product.
I think to save time and grief I'm going to get some sandblast and powdercoating quotes locally rather than trying to do everything myself like I did before. Sandblasting on my own is still an option since Harbor Freight has some cheapo blasters that might do the trick for me but I don't know if I want to mess with any of that since I'm in the middle of planning a move.
Here are the pics, hopefully I'll be able to post updates as they happen rather than just posting them all at once like my other posts.
