Atari System 1 games have a long speaker grill that goes all the way across the control panel.
As with all speaker grills, there are lots of little holes in it. Sadly, many (25%?) of the holes in mine are blocked. It makes it look ugly. I've tried various cleaning but it does clear them out. It looks like someone might have painted it in the past and filled in some holes.
So... looking for expert advise...
1) What's the best way to clean out these holes? I started using a tac and sticking the pointed side in each hole. That works but is very slow and painful.
2) Once I get it cleaned up, what's the best method to spray paint it again and not have the holes get filled in? I assume the answer is "less is better" and spray from a distance.
Thanks in advance!
