Onkyo M-504 Green LED mod

Love it.  A 1 hour mod. 

Notice Sunfire meter is now visible.  Was that blue lamp part of the plan all the time so I would open it.  That is messed up!  You should put all that brainiac energy to good use at something else.

I am still working on the wood side panels for the amp and the pre, I hope that also ends up looking good.  I was able to remove the existing edge veneer/laminate.  The sides are really well bonded.  May try applying heat - or just sand them down and veneer over it.  There are actual wood panels for sale in Epay,  but they are pricey and I am not sure they are worth it.  The amp sounds pretty decent,  by the way.

It has epically shitty speaker terminals - Rev, I had to remove the River Current terminals to make the cables play with the Onkyo with the fake binding post terminals.

Veneered the side panels.  I call it "distressed darkwood finish".  May give it another try later in the year, this time using a knife instead of the router.   O0
