Want to do a restauration and custom job with it.

plan 1: quite original condition with a few more color (example black grills)

plan 2: inspired by ricks "dream blaster"
colorful design, discolites,... a really fun box

please vote! :-)

It would be good to see what roman comes up with in the way of upgrades maybe you could incorporate some luxury upgrades into the multi coloured dream box??

Kindest regards

Simply love ricks dream machine.
Will not reach that quality, but maybe the little brother of it. :lol:

imho - if its very rare --dont customize it beyond recognition

Rare, i think so. But this helps not against the all over scratched condition (you see not all at the pics) :no:

I can't wait to see this box when done! The box has quite a nice look for a small one, I like the cassette door and its control buttons, and the tweeter covers.
