I have an Edison Standsrd that has about 90% of the gold stripping worn off the Bedplate.
The paint is real nice and I don't want to do a full strip and repaint. I would like to remove
What's barely left, clean It, and re decal! And recommendations on who to contact?

Re: Edison Bedplate restoration
What model Standard is it?
If it's an earlier model, and you have a steady hand, you may be able to redo the striping by hand, using a liner brush and a straight edge.

If it's an machine that had hand drawn stripes origionaly, I would not use decals. It makes it too obvious the bedplate has been redone.

I'm with Stephen. Generally, I'd rather see some good, honest wear than a modern decal - no matter how good the decal.
