How does your recollection of the M400 you carpeted compare to the Islands
Tron depicted at http://www-dcrp.ced.berkeley.edu/Cervero/crimtron.htm? You
say the cabinet was in poor shape when you received the unit ...
extensive-touring-with-frustrated-band-members-poor, perhaps?

Now, doth the craftsman recognize his work?
Sadly, I do recognise this as being my creation. I can't say with absolute certainty, but unless someone else had exactly the same idea, which is possible I guess, it's probable that it's the same machine.
I thought that the carpet would be a good to help protect the unit (which it did), and would look good, which actually looking at it again, does, in my opinion.
In fact, I made the mistake of doing the work in a small, poorly ventilated room. I didn't realise this was a mistake until I came round. I had passed out, having OD'd on the glue fumes!
The things we do......
