Not much to report except a $25 table-top multispeed
drill press
(belts and pulleys, just like the big boys), and a free Atari 800 (CPU
only, no PSU, disk...) with three broken keys from the same house.
The first project on the drill press is entirely on-topic -
manufacturing an ABS front panel for my Elf2K
(
http://www.sparetimegizmos.com/Hardware/Elf2K.htm). Speaking of
which, does anyone know if they manufacture an adhesive-backed
_plastic_ sheet that's meant to go through printers? I know I can
pick up an 8.5"x11" paper label from any office supply place. I am
hoping to find something that will resist water and abrasion (from
raspy palms) better than paper. I'm also hoping to print some new
keytops for the switches from an MSI 88/e keyboard (square, flush
pushbuttons, with a lip and stick-on key labels). I am constructing a
hex keypad for my Micro/Elf, and potentially for the Elf2K, and I
don't have A-F to pick from.
Thanks,

Why not just laminate the paper?
