    I always hear he words “it’s only original once” That is unless it’s made as good as new again, therefore it can be “original twice” 👍🏻👏🏻

    One tip from my side, never sand filler with a soft pat. Always use a sanding block with a hard surface, the result will be much smoother and straight. Anything else perfect job! And in terms of the originality, I might think an original is worth more but nobody can resist such a pristine looking but obvious old scale, beautiful!

    As always a restoration that is excellent! Really enjoy watching all the detail you go into for these projects. I really hope you'll invest in a powder coating system at some point, the finish that they produce is incredible in smoothness and shine. It would give your projects an even higher professional look in the end result! Good luck on your future projects and Happy New Year!

    Overall nicely done. Did you just put the weights back in the tube, or something else? How well is it calibrated, in other words. Also another question I had, did you not straighten the bowl? Or am I just immediately forgetting things (that's very possible).

    need to get impact screw driver dead blow hammer bit of a turn and evap -o rust. reusable. things to add w-d and kryoil different lubes sprays that way you don’t damage antique to stubborn screws. Sometimes soaking the part that has rust eliminates the rust before attempting heat etc.

    Thanks for the tips, Mark. I tried an impact screw driver on it, but the body was quite weak being aluminum. I soaked it with w-d for some time to no avail. My issue is time. I have to produce these episodes as quickly as possibly and I just know heat will get the job done. Cheers!
