Well, other than saturating everything with oil (my job next week) the 1400 is all nice and spit shiny for the summer. It took about 4 hours to thoroughly clean it. Dang I hate that job, it so darned messy. The only thing that was white on me was the area that was covered over with the mask, everything else was a pretty black color. I must say though, the water going down the shower drain had a pretty gray color to it.
On a serious note, I noticed the air channels on both sides is now coming apart. The left side is much worse than the right side. On the left side a portion of it has come completely away from the weld, plus, I found some 2 cracks in another part of it. On the left I noticed a few cracks, nothing has separated from the welds, yet. The panel at the further end is warping and it's only time before cracks begin to develop. This may be the ticket I need to design a better air channel for the 1400. Perhaps something in line like the 1450 that has removable panels to ease in cleaning it. Roger
