Quoted from PinballMikeD:

Just picked up a new Apollo spray system

We still have a few more cabinet cuts to make (corner bevels, etc.), but then it will be time to prime/paint this beauty. I'll try and shoot some videos of the painting process in action. In addition, I'll share my thoughts on the turbine system once I've had a chance to use it. With that said, I've never read a bad review on an Apollo system; they are considered one of the best atomizing turbine systems around by most woodworkers.

Just got great reviews in Wood magazine

Well, I just think it's cool and adds another custom touch to my machine

It looks great. I'm always hesitant to do this but I think you did it well!

OK, So I've used bolt depot and they are OK. Tell me you have found a better source.

skypilot:
that was the wrong link (type AB thread, instead of type A). I've corrected the link in my original post

I did catch that. Thanks

Quoted from PinballMikeD:

Thanks. One could apply the same approach to refurbishing any plastics, but it’s obviously easier to replace them when possible - not much choice in this case though.

Mike, I always cringe when looking at a speaker panel. Have you had the same luck referbing those?
