Removed name blackbox got someone use before

Opps Just read rules. Umm Bro Ianho can i leave this here for the moment? Will be posting my PC in the future

Gonna do some improvements to my old AVR and CM534 casing. Never posted my work before as i often do minimalistic work for my own enjoyment as a hobby but there is a first for everything . My hands always itchy when getting new things or old ugly things Comments and critics are appreciated but don go overboard if u think its ugly . Sorry for pics use phone to take pic. So here goes nothing!

My 1990's AVR disassembled, but as they say old is gold....
But works very well haha

Front cover damn old and fugly
[attachmentid=630412]

[attachmentid=629683]

Coded the wiring configuration in my head and began sniping away at the wires
[attachmentid=629703]
[attachmentid=629706]
[attachmentid=629711]

Total disassemble and start work on a new facelift for the AVR ( Acrylic & a Dremel )
[attachmentid=629717]

Painted the shell in flatblack. Sanded it first but forgot to take pic too focused on the job only realized till after (used TOA Paint in IMHO kinda good)
[attachmentid=629727]

Started re soldering wires
[attachmentid=629732][attachmentid=629734]

Done Some eye candy for you guys What do you think? . I am calling this project black box because it reminds me of the black box tape recording taken from airplanes
[attachmentid=629744][attachmentid=629746][attachmentid=629747][attachmentid=629748]

My CM534 casing will be next but will only be posting worklog once its totally completed
