I think that repainting the case in this machine is a good move given that the rust is so severe.
I have to agree, lack of action / poor storage by the previous owner has basically narrowed the choices to 'live and let rust' or 'tackle the rust', with all that that implies. I have to say that what with all the electronic problems the machine turned out to have and now the poor physical condition of the unit, Colin could hardly have chosen a tougher first retro-computer project. It's very admirable that he just keeps battling so relentlessly onwards.
