I did think of it but too late....there's plenty of photos along the way though. And I think this whole thread tells a story too.
I did think about a Mini PET motherboard before all I typed in my first post, but I wanted to try with this one - I'm glad we all stuck with it.
I've been taking all the electronics out of the case (incl. the CRT) today and have started rubbing things down with wire wool and a dremel. I've done the monitor case and the inside of the black base. I'll do some more tomorrow then choose a colour I like to start the respray.
I think I'll mask the labels as they look really difficult to get off in one piece.
Colin.

I haven't (yet) watched the third item in Colin's post #1788 but the original mainboard would have to have been sawn in half before I would give up on it - and maybe not even then - so it's hard for me to imagine a scenario where someone would actually remove the original main board and replace it with a functional modern replica.
