This is a good topic. I just picked up a CraigsList deal on a 36" and am doing same.
Needed door seals and the plexi lid replaced. Looks like he already changed the gun out to a Campbell Haus unit and threw in the small shop vac he was using with it. I put a sheetrock bag in the shopvac to cut down on the dust.

What's a good all purpose media?

I use black diamond sold at northern tool. They also sell others there to kinda try by area deal I think. So fr black diamond has been decent stuff and cuts through rust decent.

That is easy if you can afford it, but with a baby on the way I can not do that. The unit is not bad needs sealing up,better light,and gun to be decent in my book. If I win lottery maybe I can get something nice one day.

The TP one that is the same size as the HF is $449. The HF is 299 or 219 on sale. By the time you spend upgrading and adding lights to the HF one you are pretty darn close. ( the TP one comes with a light) Parts are available from TP. My HF one, no spare parts where available, which meant I was cutting my own plexiglass for the window. I realize it is not an option for everyone, you wanted feedback on HF stuff and I gave you some!

FWIW, I bought my TP cabinet on Craigslist and then sold the HF on Craigslist making it an even better deal.
