Re: I got a new MPI drive...some problems

Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy concentrating on a few other projects (fixing a PET 2001 motherboard, and repairing a Keytronic keyboard). It seems the older I get the longer these projects take to complete... Anyway, I'm done with these other projects now and I have 2 more projects to fini...

Varnishing the wood sides of the 4P

So the wooden sides are a little scruffy on my 4P and 4P drive. I wanted to sand these back and get them looking nice, and then I wanted to coat them with something. But what to I coat then with?
