The bottom right corner of the unit has a chunk taken out, but does not intrude on the artwork. The front panel has a chip top half (its small but looks like crapolla)... and after close observation it looks like the person who spray painted the chip on the corner, also tested the spray can on the front of the artwork... and the front panel bottom is a bit munged up sooooo...
My plan is to replace the entire front panel (if I can do it surgically), I've ordered the front artwork from Phoenix Arcade. I ordered it Monday moments before their "unadvertised sale"... they refunded me the difference even though I missed the special! So ... Phoenix Arcade gets high marks from me!
With that when I remove the front, I will be patching that damaged corner and refinishing the black outside the perimeter of the artwork.

You may have seen this already, and it is probably not the best example of a corner repair, but it is on an upright Star Wars....so maybe useful:

They are just plain being cheap. Buying a single mailer tube is expensive, but if youre in that BUSINESS, you can buy in bulk and it works out to be cheap. *sigh* some people.... :dunno

Not really, I just wanted to say that.

The Chad Vader series is awesome. I haven't checked in probably 9 months to see if there are any new episodes. Thanks for the reminder.
