That is one beautiful 2245, Dave! I'm curious about the powder coating. Did you peel off the vinyl covering, and if you did, was that very hard?Must be 2245 Day here on AK. Here's one I picked up a week ago. It had a horrible paint job on the cabinet and half the lettering was worn off the faceplate. So, I got the cabinet powdercoated with a matte black finish and found a black faceplate from a fellow AK'r (thanks Bob!!). Still have LEDs and a new speaker relay to do, but here's where I am so far:

fear of getting a second addiction
Beautiful! I was just reading an old thread where Brians12v and KutzlerTrans were helping someone with their 4140. And Richs_Trains has one on the bench. I've been trying to stay away from quad units for fear of getting a second addiction. But you guys are like a black hole sucking me in.
No thanks. I can't keep myself out of the innards of these things. I'm afraid with tubes, sooner or later I would find myself on the floor.There is another one too called TUBES thats where the anti can really go up
You dastardly dudes have already got my eyes stopping at quad units on CL that I used to be able to easily pass over.conformconformconformconformconform.......
After seeing a pic of bryans12v 4140 awhile back i could no longer resist the draw of the 4 meters, they were like 4 smiley faces beckoning me and i had to get one
