Re: AB McDonald Project
Looks amazing!! How/what did you use to clean the parts? Did any have to be replated?

Re: AB McDonald Project
I just used solvent and mostly rags. It's not perfect but it's very presentable. Thanks, Jerry

Re: AB McDonald Project
Great job Jerry
Much nicer saving the original finishes, rather then doing the quick refinish we see so often.

Re: AB McDonald Project
Jerry, that is a beautiful job. Well worth the effort. I just completed 2 Amberola 30s that I completely detailed both cosmetically and mechanically, so I know how much work you put into that machine.
