<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is the hole in question. What ive actually
done is file the edges out very carefully so that its a proper cutout now.
Im then going to mount a recessed sheet behind and mount the extra i/o options
on that. I think.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ive filed the hole, and resprayed it, but thats
about as far as id gone. The electronics are restored to stock now, so ill
refinish the woodwork sometime soon, and then work out what im going to
add.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I like it when other people start rambling... It
makes me feel less conspicuious for doing it myself ; )</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You know I've taken to JB Welding holes in
project cases that I want to reuse for something else. Although I guess doing
such with a Wasp might not be as practicable. But usually if you put a piece
of tape over the front and then put the JB Weld in the back of the hole, you
only need minimal sanding and maybe some glazing compound. But I dunno, is the
Wasp textured plastic? That'd be a bitch. Maybe putting a panel with
expansions is a much better idea.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Still JB Weld is fun. It's fun to use the case
from something else - something familiar but then filling up certain parts
with JB Weld and putting a synth/fx circuit in it. People say, "Hey was that
a???" And you reply "Yes it was." I'm also a big fan of Krylon wet-sandable
primer (and paint) and Sears spray polyurethane enamel. The poly is awesome,,
but the color slection leaves a lot to be desired. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also have a big battery, a big jar, some silver
nitrate and an old silver spoon. I like to silver plate weird things. I wish I
had the stuff to plate other metals...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>rambling on...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for everyone's help. This deluxe
now appears to be working fine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a lot of cosmetic work to do on it
still, and probably some I/O expansion - it had a rough hole messily drilled
in its rear panel, so rather than just 'patch' it with a plain sheet, ill
put a proper plate in with some additional options.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sanding and re-sealing its woodwork tomorrow i
think.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cheers again, </FONT></DIV>
