That's exactly what I have done on several radios and TVs. It's quite easy to make the boxes out of sheet brass, solder them together and spray them silver or green etc. leaving the base open as I suggested in my previous post. It looks so much better, especially when the blocks are mounted on the top of the chassis. In the 900 however, it seems that they are under the chassis so are not seen but nor are the wax caps that you are going to stuff! I would definitely go for it - you and Mike will know they are there.
