Rejoining the Black Knight club after 7 years. Sold my BK -among others- back then to acquire an Addams, and it's one I always said I'd own again if I got the chance. The chance came a couple of months ago when a fellow pinhead put some of his projects up for sale. I've only done some minor work since, but I thought I'd share. First up, send the CPU to Clive. Check. Picked up a gray Repro BG from CPR, along with a new plastics set and did some cleaning and touch up (see the eagle claw.) I need to touch up all of the inserts, and finish up the cleaning, which will happen...soon.

Absolutely agree. I should have waited a month or two, as the gray ones were the only ones available from CPR a few months back when I was looking.

Well, the cosmetics are mostly done. I'm going to repair the lower right corner of the head, but the rest of the cabinet is in good shape. And I'll almost certainly pick up a mirrored version of the BG when they become available again. This BK will ride again...soon.
