[PSUBS-MAILIST] Jon's K600

That sounds about right Steve.  The guy I had tagged to do it last 
summer quoted me $800 for sandblasting.  He was not set up to paint so I 
was going to use the SMYTH method and roller the paint on myself.  
Thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in mind.  I'm sure that I should be 
able to find a sandblasting service in the surrounding Boston MA area, 
but who knows.  Interestingly, a sandblasting and machining business 
just opened two miles down the roard, but it looks like they are set up 
for parts, not a large block of metal like a submarine. Still, I'm going 
to stop in and inquire.
