Control Panel Restoration

The original panel was pretty bad, a big part ripped away by the trackball as well as cigarette burns all over. I was able to order a replacement vinyl adhesive panel online. The hardest part was removing the existing panel. Basically just peeled while squiring goof-off/gum-off/oil to halp remove. Afterwards was much scrubbing with the same substances to eventually remove all the leftover adhesive. After that, it was just a matter of being careful lining up the new adhesive vinyl, and making sure it was nice and taught while applying from the top to the underside.
