Centipede Mini Restoration
SirPeale:
I picked this cab up in a lot of ten about two months ago. The rest are in storage, but I thought I'd pick away at this one a bit at a time.
Vacuumed it out a couple days ago. It was filled with mouse nests. Gross.
Replaced a couple of the T nuts on the bottom with new leveler mounting plates, as well as the levelers. All of them had holes thru them.
The power cord had its end torn right off. I took a PC power cord, cut off the end and crimped on new Molex pins. Good as new.
Next I thought I'd tackle the power distribution block. Taking cues from BrentRadio's restorations, I disassembled it. Scrubbed as much rust as I could from it. I've masked off the original labels, and tomorrow I'll paint it brass.
SirPeale:
Cleaned the power distribution block a ton. And reassembled.
Before and after shots. It's good, but it could be better. Still...I'm happy with it.
WunderCade:
Did you just dust it off with a brush or did you disassemble it and detail it?
Also, in your first post....no pic of the cab??

I haven't taken one yet. I've got ten other cabs I still have to take pictures of. Don't worry, I'll take one eventually.
