My Defender restore conversion
This cabinet was in so bad shape when I got it
I have no intension of fully restoring it as a defender, I'll restore the artwork to its former glory alright.
In Ireland cabs are hard to come by, especially in good condition.
please excuse some of the pics as most were taken on different mobile phones
Cant find the very early ones but heres after I stripped 1/4 inch deep of emulsion from the machine
Testing out using spraypaint, seemed great at the time
but believe me a Foam roller is the way to go
Thats what I done in the end and will never use a spray can again

Re: My Defender restore conversion
1st go with the roller, touching up any inperfections with filler
Just restoring the black
Like the graphics a little faded looking
The kick panel was removed as it was completely rotted
Graphics on front beyond restore
Will have to repaint them on from scratch
Light is funny in this room
will get better pics tomorrow with the t-moulding on on monitor in

Re: My Defender restore conversion
Just used regular paint stripper and white spirits
Side with black repainted
I will eventually repaint the complete sides in the future when I move to a bigger house where I can actually work on the machine without it being everywhere.
need to repaint the front graphicsas it was destroyed

Re: My Defender restore conversion
screenburn looks worse than it is due to bright flash on camera
Will have new monitor soon enough anyway

Re: My Defender restore conversion
Right screen burn is pissing me off
So I now sourced a excellent condition 21" monitor which will be going in today after work
Will have pics of the finished product when DHL ever arrive with my new I-Pac
