"I have a silver one. Probably one of the reasons you don't see
many pictures (now) of silver ones is that they don't look
very good. The panel was not sealed/coated and over time
the aluminum tarnishes pretty badly and doesn't look very good
at all. I spent a whole weekend with a jar of Aluminum Jelly
(similar to Naval Jelly, and found in most hardware stores)
restoring the front panel of mine. I got *most* of the tarnish
off with only minimal damage to the lettering. One of the challenges
is that the slider switches are 'glued' to the front panel with
silicone seal (round holes must have been easier to drill than
rectangular ones...) and I had to avoid getting A.J. in and
around the switches." - Tom Moravansky
