reno project: vintage gym locker

Was leaving a friend’s house and two doors down a neighbor was moving out, and left this gym locker which likely had been in the garage or out back on the curb.

After a quick inspection, sure, it’s something that I can fix with a bunch of paint, chemicals, and elbow grease. First, let’s take it apart and count how many screws & nuts I need to replace. Answer: 46.

The locker is comprised of two side pieces, a back piece, a top panel, a bottom shelf, two back legs, and three inside shelves, plus a front frame and two doors.

First thing, scrape off the heavy rust. Second thing, use a metal brush to take off the fine rust. Third thing, spray this down with a sealant that makes the rust a bonded and paintable surface. Let that dry for a couple days. Fourth, go over it all with a primer spray, then let that sit for a day.

Fifth, time to start painting!

I chose a basic purple for the shelving and for the outside-facing surfaces a hammered black. After it’d sat in the garage for a week (there were several hailstorms in my neighborhood...) I started putting it back together, discovered that the top and bottom panels aren’t interchangeable afterall, and had to repaint the top so now the bottom shelf is hammered black. Totally reassembled it, touched up the paint scuffs, and once dry, here it is!

I skipped a bunch in the description (and the photography) but you get the idea. There’s no branding so I can’t accurately date it, but judging by the rusting and the design this dates back to the 1960s-1970s.

The Rainbow September 1984

Beyond its familiar September theme, not much was different about this issue of The Rainbow than the ones just previous. There was an editor’s note, though, that its publishing company Falsoft had just started a magazine devoted to the Sanyo MBC-550 computer. Other computer magazines had expressed positive evaluations of that computer, proclaiming that even without much in the way of IBM PC compatibility its low price for what you got would mean plenty of people would buy it and software would soon follow. I do wonder, though, just how long Falsoft’s “Soft Sector” ran. On the other hand, adding coverage of the Tandy 2000 to an initially quite slim magazine first devoted to the TRS-80 Model 100 portable wound up doing a lot for Falsoft’s “PCM,” and it didn’t even have to change its title.
