A 70's theme, huh? I recently ran across some fine faux mahogany paneling at a salvage yard. You know, the stuff with vertical black stripes? Maybe apply some to a 'tron with a bit of stylish matching corner moulding...

This discussion thread gets me to wondering: Why did Streetly finish the original 400s in white in the first place? Was it simply to make them stand out from the other instruments on a stage? Any thoughts, Martin?
The guy who used to paint them had once worked in a refrigerator factory. It was either white or avocado as far as he was concerned. Streetly wisely insisted on white. They did test one 400 in avocado. I believe Frankie Stickle has it in his kitchen.
