Clay,
Here are a few shots of of my D Bedplate.
Dave

Thanks Dave. These are great.

Clay

That's a BEAUTIFUL Triumph upper works, Dave!

George P.

Thanks. The lower left corner decoration under the on/off switch and the speed control numbers are decals I made myself.
Dave Jolley

Fingers crossed, but it seems to be running smoothly now. Bedplate decals are ordered. When it is all done, including the oak repro horn finished, which will be awhile, will try to post a video.

After the decals are installed, do you recommend a coat of shellac over the bedplate?

You definitely have an artistic flair!

Clay

Well, the last piece of the puzzle to complete this long story fell into place today, with the arrival of the cygnet horn elbow gain painted by Dave Jolley. (A beautiful job Dave!) The horn bell is by Eduardo Portilla. The lower bedplate decals are from Gregg Cline. (The original upper level decals were still in good condition.) Aside from fiddling with some minor adjustments here and there it is now all done and it sounds really good using my Model O reproducer.

That's absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations. You have a real keeper there.
