sorry if this seems to be a silly question but I see no photos in any of these posts (IE8)- how do I get them to show? --- In newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com, "Paul Marshall" <paulm@...> wrote: > > Hi all, > As Frank has put up some excellent photos in recent times, thought it was time to share the rebuild of my beloved #1380. > > Until Autumn 2009 she was in a T550 style flightcase which I had never really been happy with and so I decided that the iconic white box was the only way to go. > > First port of call was the good folks at Streetly to see whether a surplus M400 cab was available. This proved not to be the case so I decided to build my own. I am an electrical engineer and not a joiner so this proved to be incredibly difficult and time consuming, but I am quite pleased with the result... Finnish birch ply and a LOT of precision routing, dowelling and sanding. The final finish was left to the experts at Streetly, my baby was taken to their paint shop and I am WELL impressed. Streetly were also invaluable for various bits and bobs which needed replacing as the rebuild progressed. > > Refitted with the innards and restored to full working order by Christmas Day 2009 as a little present to myself.
