I have a robotron cab (donated by gibbous) that I am restoring and i have a couple of questions.
1. i've removed the paint from the sides and plan to re-stencil. Should i go ahead and repaint all the black as well? It looks like it is in good shape, minus a couple of areas which i'd like to fix. removing all the black seems a little excessive. would it look bad just to add another coat of black over the existing.
which leads my to my second question
2. there appears to be a imprinted serial number on the right side front panel (as pictured). Now, the innards of this machine are from another source - so it isn't like all numbers are going to match up, but should i try to preserve this number on the front?
I'm actually not even sure if the imprinted serial number is original? Did Williams do that?
(i have no idea why my picture was rotated on upload)
