Hello,
I have just joined this forum so please excuse me if I get the protocol wrong or have sent this to the wrong area as I am not used to forums...
I have an old IBM XT 5160 that I got on ebay a while ago and the case, though in resonable condition, has a few very small scrapes and scratches.
Has anybody successfully restored the the paintwork to the case lid before? And, has anybody got any ideas on restoring the front case panel so it looks new - It looks like it may be difficult because it has a sort of crinkly finish to it...
If it's a question of getting immaculate replacement parts does anybody know where from?
I probably sound a bit anal but it's such a piece of history that I would like to have it looking really nice.
Many thanks,
Nick.
