Saitek President board only

Post by rookorbycrook »

Yes guys picked up off Ebay today .. need some pointers on potentially fixing the two squares that have started to lift.

Much appreciated

Took a gamble as no power adapter or pieces or module.

However I now own 4 of these beautiful machines so have the additional requirements.

If it was mine I would put some low viscosity superglue underneath the veneer are hold it down (somehow) until it dries ("cures") - which should only be a number of seconds. Any excess superglue can be cleaned off with acetone, so you might want to buy some of that too.

Altenatively have a look on youtube for something like "how to reglue veneer" and see what people who are into furniture restoration do - but bear in mind that they are gluing veneer to wood (i.e. wood to wood) - not sure whether you are?

Hey thanks for the reply to be fair fella, just looking at my very first president and its very similar in the sense the squares and sides have flexed slightly.

But yes of it's looking how it is not much of a big task
