The only issue that I see is all those little speaker holes. Might have to invest in a box of straight pins if I'm going to paint this thing.

Fairly easy. Search on "faceplate" here to find my instructions for removal (I will add the link to the original post too). Thoughtfix also has excellent instructions on his blog.

EDIT: instruction link added to original post in this thread.

I picked up some more faceplates! I now have maybe triple what I started with. Not sure if I can get more though.

As to the requests I've already received, they may not go out until next week. Hang tight!

Technically they're available now-- I just have a short-term transportation issue with them, which should be resolved over the next several days.

To keep it simple, I'm using the same pricing. However, these things are even lighter and smaller than the 770 covers so postage should be cheap. Note that I will have to protect the faceplates from deflection which may make the packing just as bulky (I am using padded envelops and will add reinforcement).

The instructions and details are essentially a repeat from the 770 cover thread, with the exception that I am limiting shipment to 2 faceplates per person. See bottom of this page for faceplate removal instruction link.

1. Faceplates *may* have slight scratches or blemishes. However, as I noted above, these are generally good.

2. Faceplates will ship from the Fort Worth area, in Texas, USA, zip code 76248. They will be sent in padded envelopes with additional reinforcement (cardboard, newspaper, etc) as needed. I can get up to 2 faceplates in one pack.

3. Please calculate your own shipping based on your needs and the following criteria (changed; please read thoroughly before submitting a request):

-shipping is via the US Postal Service (www.usps.com)
-first faceplate is $2 for handling plus the shipping charges you calculate.
-every additional faceplate, up to 2 max, is another $1 for handling. Original shipping cost should not go up (these are very light).
-payment should be made to my paypal account, fabricator at cynicalsigns dot com (render into actual email address).
-make sure to include your full shipping info in the paypal payment; that's the only place I really need to see it.

4. Please do not email me unless you absolutely need to, and use the email address of my paypal account, not the address associated with this forum.

5. Please use this thread for general communications only; any messages including personal details should be via PM here.

6. If you intend to completely repaint the faceplate(s), or alter them significantly in any way, please let me know and I will send you ones with blemishes that won't matter in your use.


Note that there may be a slight delay between payment and shipping, but I'll get them out as soon as I can. I make no real profit from this endeavor.

EDIT: post for faceplate removal instructions--

YOU DA MAN!

I'm in for 2 they can be blemished but not scarred. I think I'll chrome one for kicks and grins and paint the other.

Paypal to follow when I get home.

It's a shame the faceplate isn't easier to pop out. Lots of opportunity for customization there...

Right now I have no way of knowing, because I have no scale that can tell. It's very light though... like maybe an ounce or 2.
