Recent 1979 Suitcase Restoration

[willstring]

Alright guys, i have been meaning to do this for some time now.  Here are the pictures from my recent rhodes restoration project.  I wish i had taken the BEFORE pictures, but all i really have is the AFTER pictures.  Heres most of what I did:

-new tolex
-new speaker grill
-new hardware (i.e. latches, corners, etc)
-painted the legs
-new logos!
-fixed action (reglued & lubricated key felts)
-CLEANED the interior thoroughly
-fixed the on/off switch (the orange cover over the LED was missing, so i replaced it with a piece of plastic from an ibuprofen container!)

thanks to everyone on this forum who helped.  i would be lost without y'all!  enjoy.  -will
