Most sections had little or no signs of rust. The most rusty was as sound as it was when it was new. As I recall, a little steel wool removed the surface rust, and I painted it with a commercial grade Rustoleum aluminum colored paint, using a painting mitt. Both available at Home Depot. Good idea to wear a rubber glove under the mitt...the longer it goes up your arm the better. The mitt makes it a real fast job. I brought the paint up the tower in a gallon bucket... The whole tower took only a quart of the paint. Happy Holidays...JACK W1WEF
ps: your comport interface is still working perfectly and simplest design I've found. ----------------------------------------------------- I'm not crazy, but I may have lost my census! ----------------------------------------------------- Bill H. in Chicagoland _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
