Hi all.decided to do a thread on this,Alan (Road runner) has very kindly offered to test my floppy drive and mpu so many thanks indeed. The cab is a bit rickety so I have I have opened top se tion and glued dowel pegs then sash clamped, the metal bar at bottom of rear door was upside down so removed and resecured using new screws with wood glue to increase strength. Filled some holes in rear under opening door where it was damaged.re fastened the 2 thin wood rails behind back door as they were partly prized off.getting new locks for rear door as one missing and other wrong size so it has a lot of movement and I like a good snug fit.also adding anti spin rings to locks as they are also missing.next will be making a new false base with new nylon feet as that leaves a mess everytime you move it.this will also add to the sturdiness of the cab.

Main issue is the feet have gone missing and the base is being pulled apart.there are 3 rusty screws each side that are not doing much,so I have brushed wood glue deep into the wood to seal it and clamped till dry.then I will add new wood each side and fit new screws slightly higher up on sides and up from underside into the sides.then add my new nylon glides.this should make it solid and prevent further wear.the monitor was filthy and has cleaned up a treat.

I will enjoy reading this project. looks like you have some major repairs to do on that cab and good luck going forward with that. Top job on the monitor it looks brand new.
