Oops! There goes another Mountain Juke Box! (*05/04/2009*) Update
DaOld Man:
I temporarily installed the power entry module and the admin plate.
I took a picture, and then I noticed in the picture that I have scratched the laminate on the back.
It was probably when I had the back on the table, probably some shavings or drill chips got between it and the table. (Man I wish I had masked it all off with tape.)
Anyway, see the scratches under the admin plate?
There are more scratches around the upper edge.
Can someone please tell me how or if I even can, remove these scratches?

It's looking great DaOld man!
removing scratches. First thing I thought of was (boot) polish as they're on the back, then that car wax stuff with colour in it.
I googled it too and someone mentinos car wax for removing scratches from matt black laminate... Someone else mentioned toothpaste, but not the gel kind.
Cheers
DaOld Man:
Thanks drawful! I will try the toothpaste first since it is readily available.
I got the 4-40 bolts from the hardware store this morning. They are not allen type, but slotted, but they will work.
It hit me that what if I ever have to remove the magnets? These things are strong, and Im not sure I could get them out if need be, so I removed the T-nuts in the bottom part and used regular 4-40 nuts. This should allow me to remove them if necessary.
(And it will be, because I will have to remove them before I cut the T molding slot.)
Anyway, I installed the magnets and discs. Im not sure Im going to like the rotating. My lazy susan bearing has a lot of slop in it, which allows the bottom of the juke to tilt.
I plan to try and fix the slop like mountain did.
Those magnets are very strong. I will have to separate them from the discs even more.
I think I will try to counter sink the discs the same way I did the cups.
Im starting to wish I went with the no-rotating design like the rest of you guys did.
Its not too late, providing I can get the acrylic off the front of the speaker box.
But I have come a long way to admit defeat! Maybe too far.

I'd try it on some scrap first, just in case.

Looking good DaOld Man!
For polishing I used P120 grit where necessary (I had quite a good finish so It didn't need it every where, I used it more for blending), then P320, P600, P800, P1200 before using the Novus 3 step polishing kit. The stuff is amazing!
