Sharp GF777 Switch panel restoration (transfer)

[Crunchy_JuiceBox84]

thats a bit crusty, you'll have to get that smooth before fitting new transfer.
oh and thanks for the positive feedback

Yeah, but the rest of the box looks good. Whats the best way to pop off the knobs and switches? Do you have any tear down pictures, Everything works so well on this box and I really don't want to mess anything up. Can't wait until the transfers arrive, I believe I just ordered them from you on Ebay, Jraygb?

riker, yes I could do it for you, if in uk that is. partridge, no need to paint it, just flat it with 800 grit ans stick it on. you wont see the paint so its pointless. crunchy, just gently pry them off with something plastic, I have used pliers in the past with a folded cloth over the buttons but I wouldn't really recommend this as you could easily scratch them.
Ill do a step by step soon, once ive moved house in a few weeks, ill also be listing some 777 colour match paint. got a few restorations coming soon.

Is it possible to protect against oxidation?

 

[squeeezebox]

I suppose so, if they are kept indoors dry and not in a damp attic, ive got a few 767's that are in perfect condition.

OK thanks

I received my Switch Panel decal in the mail a couple days ago. Can't wait to use it.

Finally broke down and took apart my GF777 and put the new switch panel decal on. Was quite nervous about taking it apart.

I was so happy that you made such an item! My wife was even like "Where do you find this stuff? You are always coming up with these obscure parts and decals for stuff that hasn't been made for 30 years."
Thanks again Squeezebox!
