Show Us Your Restorations
Thank you! Restoring of that MP is still in progress. For now I can tell that cleaning in the electrolysis did not go as expected, but nothing is lost. My friend will give me some tannate for preserving metal parts and then I'll get replicas of bakelite parts which literally fell apart.- Giftmacher

I must look for some stiffener somewhere in the West then, I didn't find anything like that here in CZ. The flange or hat block still remains a problem.- Giftmacher
