Is this from the last stock they have/had ? --- End quote --- Yeah, this seems to be it from Happs for these monitors. I ordered these several weeks back. I got one universal mount which they had in stock and sent immediately. The three shelf mounts were on back order. They said once they got those in, that was the last of them. --- End quote --- It's a shame they have done away with them, they are great monitors. Great score on getting the last ones produced. |

I'll try the bent needle-nose as I think that will get it. Maybe go with the vice grips on the ones that are higher up. |

I'm considering powder coating the control panel on this. Since the overlay only covers a small portion of the control panel, I think powder coating will give it a nice look. I'm not sure if there are any local powder coaters in the area. I may try the DIY approach. This link that was posted over in RetroACTIVE's Star Wars thread got me thinking about doing this. I have access to a garage with an oven to perform the powder coating. I need to do some more research on it. Harbor Freight also has a gun available at a cheaper price (and probably quality), but $70 isn't a bad deal. |

The local one in my area wanted $200.00 to powder coat my CPO and coin door and that price didn't include sandblasting/prepwork. Yet in other peoples threads here they seemed to get the same done for around $40.00. At the prices my local shop wants to charge I might have to look into one of those DIY sets myself eventually. |
