Edison Triumph -- what would you do?

I think just restoring the name plate would make a huge difference. Maybe then, some touch ups on the striping and possibly new corner decals. But, I would not totally refinish the whole upper works. Right now, maybe 50% of the original striping and 25% of the original finish is missing. With refinishing, 100% of each will be gone.

Greetings, everyone. After living with this nice machine for a while as it is, I am now seriously reconsidering restoring the bedplate.

Wow. If I were you, I would move this machine along to someone who will appreciate it as is and go buy a restored one. In most instances an unrestored original will look better than a restored machine ever will, and this machine looks just about perfect for a collector looking for a nice original.
