Lucky man.  Be careful if you choose to restore the finish, 
though.  I tried to reglaze a CoCo 1, which worked very well for 
oh... about 2 months, and now all of a sudden it's chippy, scratchy, 
hazy, and just plain ugly again.

I might have it professionally sandblasted and painted by somebody 
else, but one of these days dangit, I want to want to own what 
appears to be a brand new original CoCo 1, so shiny that I can see my 
face in the reflection.  :)
