Picked up a LQPX2-SW tonight; its a 2-port 25-pin serial A/B switchbox
with the d|i|g|i|t|a|l logo on it, made out of shiny "burnished" stainless
steel.
I didnt know they even made their own switchboxes!

Oh no! If you refinish it you will ruin the antique collectible value.
Then when you appear on one of those TV shows, they'll tell you that the
box would have been worth 34 gazillion dollars, but after having
refinished it, it's only worth $7.
