This one will need a fair bit of cosmetic restoration; there's enough surface rust on
some of the panels to make a respray a good idea. Question: does anyone have any idea how
to reproduce the rough / textured / 'spattered' appearance that DEC gave their
cabinet paintwork? How was it done in the factory? See the last image in the album to see
what I mean.
Thanks!
