Whoever built that was either crazy like a fox, or really lazy, My guess there is handhold cutouts under those switch plates, and most of the damage was confined to only the bezel....**Fun story** I found a dead rat in one once,(bought it that way, I don't have rats) just the bones don't you know, and the little  :censored: chewed up all the wiring before he died,  apparently when something dies it turns to a liquid goo, and smells kinda gross so consider the fact things could always be worse ;D,  Anyway looks like a fun project....SCORE!

Wow... that is pretty nasty.

Luckily the cabinet is intact. I am kind of glad this is a bootleg Universal Cab. I can kind of make it my own without worries of destroying some classic machine. I want to try to make it as close to a Universal Cab as possible. That I know.

Thanks for looking at my next fun little project!

I'd put a new control panel on it, clean up the crap on the back, change out the monitor, and call it done personally....
