I expect it will need an overhaul in the not too distant future. I noticed a beer bottle sitting on it. Soon they will be swabbing that out of the inside. You guys need to install a "Beertron" which pressurizes the cabinet so much that it blows spilled liquids out before they can soil the tapes and gum up the works.

How about a 'beer cover' over the whole top of the machine just inside the cover. Anything that leaks inside would be caught by it, then by means of a small spigot and fan just underneath the keyboard, it would spray out all over the player's pants? Also activated by the device would be a digital recording of Martin and John laughing uproariously.

It could work...
