That's pretty fancy.
Thanks for the tips on the custom cut glass.

Is all the polishing done on the outside of the display?  You'd think the folks at SMA could have used glass.  I've had my local glass guy cut me special sized UV/automotive glass that I then secure to the inside of the indentation around the display window with 3M 2-sided outdoor-rated tape, costs ~$12.  Those have only been out there for about 5 years, I'll report back in another 5 years .

            I also just started using a UV rated window 'film'  which is similar to the that little strip of plastic you peel off the display of an SBX.0-40 after installation.....maybe we should leave that factory plastic strip on!?

            Occasionally , we go nuts and build a very well vented cabinet around it.  In the pic, that lower board hinges down over display

I've also used some special 3M sanding pads that go up to 10,000 grit.  They are used for polishing airplane wind shields.  Enough elbow grease, you can get any result you want.
