Apparently I am living in the wrong place, if you're getting all those for free.

Nice resto! Looking forward to seeing the rest of it.

You're not TPA5.  I live about 10 miles away from him.  And I can't find anything.  It sort of feels like this.

Do you know of any source for a reproduction screened control panel?  If not, how do you plan on restoring yours?
