Just a curiosity question.
For those who have done cabinet swaps between machines, such as when changing between colors, or upgrading the exterior cosmetics of a higher-spec machine using a better condition outer shell of a lower-spec machine, what have you typically done with the riveted ID tags?
Do you drill out the rivets and pop-rivet the ID plates back onto the original corresponding machines? Do you write a note in marker on the inside or back panel indicating that it has been swapped? Keep everything as-is and do nothing? And do you do something different depending on where the machine is going? (i.e.: "keeping records" for a machine going to a collector who might care about originality or whether a particular combination of parts was ever produced by the factory.)
Not necessarily asking what should be done, just what you do. No right or wrong answers. |
