Rainy day business

Some might remember the green kit I purchased on Ebay at the beginning of June. Basically the condition was ok: No major damages such as cracks or tears. The yellowed polycarbonate surfaces had been pasted over with an ugly rubber layer. Some screws were missing and the aluminium frames demanded some polishing.

Polishing the rims with metal/chrome polish

 


Polishing the shell: once with acryl polish, once with polish for old car lacquers

 


After the new surface sticks tight to the plywood underground, the protection foil can be removed. Reflecting like a mirror!

 


Assembling all parts again

The XLR connection must be removed and soldered again for surface replacement

 


Drowning the soldering points in hot glue (after testing…of course)

 


a brand new XLR connector

 


Bright and shiny again
