My old Swest rectifier has taken a beating from all the years of work anodizing and etching, etc. This past week I decided to strip it and repaint the sheetmetal housing for it. Adam told me I couldn't paint it red, so I had to find something kind of close to the original paint. After getting it painted, I reassembled and made some 3d printed bushings to isolate the terminals from the case. Then I made some stencils so I could paint the text with some sign paint I have had sitting around for years. I still need to pull out the stencil sections inside the letters but it turned out ok. I probably should have taken time getting things lined up and a bit more level, but it's probably just going to get abused by my students anyway. It gets harder and harder to keep the studio nice. If they don't pay for it, then they usually don't care about taking care of it. I'm starting to sound like an old curmudgeon...
