I've been through the settings with a fine tooth comb and they all match, but there's a delay in her MusicBee finding the new tracks.

I'm turning to step 2, which is refurbishing my Cyrus amp. One nice surprise was when I looked for the serial number to book it in with the service feller I discovered it's a Cyrus <em>Two</em> and not the <em>One</em> I thought it was. I'm not (totally) daft; they're identical to look at apart from an additional input at the back of the Two. Anyway, that's beside the point. The case work is part pressed, part cast aluminium and over the years it's picked up a few little peels and chips to the paintwork. The top shroud detaches and could be resprayed, but as the paint chips are tiny (pin head size), the finish is very slightly stippled anyway, and my spraying skills are not great, I probably won't. The mid section is attached to the massive cast base and spraying isn't really practical because of the stencilled control indications, logos etc.<br /><br /> My thought is to attack the damage with an enamel paint such as Humbrol with a suitable silk finish and a skinny modeling brush, using a polishing compound like T-cut if necessary. I think the stippled top shroud will be forgiving enough to be straightforward, but the smooth metal mid section is more of a problem.<br /><br /> Has anybody here done anything like this? Any tips or pointers?<br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42301.119&return_msg=42301.115" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42301.119"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42301_120"></a><div class="message" id="message_42301_120"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: graphitone<span class="message_time">25 May 2019 16:30</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 25 May 2019 17:23"></span></span> <span class="message_count">120 of 168</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42301.120">42301.120</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42301.115#a42301_119" target="_self">42301.119</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Can you upload a picture or two, so we can see the extent of the damage there.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42301.120&return_msg=42301.115" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42301.120"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42301_121"></a><div class="message" id="message_42301_121"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time">25 May 2019 18:38</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 26 May 2019 10:30"></span></span> <span class="message_count">121 of 168</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42301.121">42301.121</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42301.115#a42301_120" target="_self">42301.120</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Here you go.
