Preparing 40-201 for painting chassis
#13

Today I made a trip back to Walmart and found the exact paint that we have discussed. It only cost $3.67. I bought the can, brought it home and proceeded to paint the chassis. The weather was great today with temperatures in the middle 50s and dry air - lots of sunshine. It did not take long to cure enough to bring it back inside and begin removal of the masking tape and cotton balls. It is not absolutely perfect, but looks far better than it did to begin with.
   
Ron graciously offered me a 36-1565-4 field core speaker which is exactly the 12 inch size and has the mounting holes correctly spaced to fit the baffle board. It arrived today and I promptly mounted it to the baffle board. The baffle board has received a coat of shellac like the rest of the cabinet interior to eliminate mouse odors. The new push-buttons, chassis rubber corner cushions and control panel bushings arrived today also.
   
It is starting to come together.
