When that nixie meter arrives, I'll be taking the top of that and giving it a nice overspray with black paint again, luckily the fascia looks to be in good condition, but I think its also being delivered by Hermes so who knows what it be like when it gets here.
Mind you, I have to give credit where its due and the last 3 items have been delivered by them and they all arrived OK, including one that had the wrong house number on it but the driver thought it was meant to be coming to me so he knocked and checked, so theres hope yet for the safe arrival of yours.
