That's right, sheet rocked and painted with shelac. I believe they also had an EMT 140 plate.

Well so much for offering a potentially destitute museum owner money for reverse engineering,

"In October 2016, the museum announced a $50-million-dollar expansion plan in order to create space for interactive exhibits and recording studios.] Since the announcement, the museum has received donations from organizations like The Kresge Foundation, the AARP, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to help with both the expansion as well as community programming."
