Pedal work... I took some shots of the application of the anti-skid tape but cant find them... anyway... cut it stuck it... nothing to it. You can get it at Home Depot or Lowes.
Old grubby potentiometer and a new one ready to go...

Pedal parts ready to be assembled, I already put the axle in and the C clips on the ends. All we need now is the new pot, rocker arm and spring...

Soldered the cabinet pigtail on to the potentiometer and used a bit of heat shrink tubing to make it nice.

Now the control panel. To be honest, I really would like to strip this down, powder coat it and put a nice silk screened reproduction overlay on it... but since that doesn't exist ...yet... ahem... I am just going to clean this, change the wheel out and the buttons out to pep it up a bit.
