[sdiy] Wasp fixed, was - Trying to understand wasp CMOS

[Julian]

Hi there Anthony, 

This:

http://www.numberofthebeast.org/strangedeluxe/IMG_2840.JPG

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.

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.

I like it when other people start rambling... It makes me feel less conspicuious for doing it myself ; )

  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.
   
  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. 
   
  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...
   
  rambling on...

    Thanks for everyone's help.  This deluxe now appears to be working fine.

    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.

    Sanding and re-sealing its woodwork tomorrow i think.

    Cheers again, 
     
    Julian
