Have you been able to source / repair the parts OK ?
The motor is being tested over this week, I'm sure I'll have some fun! It will still need a complete strip and spindle repair. I dont have a jig, just a flat surface and that's all that's needed really. I have no idea where the scuffs came from it looks like its been through the wars!! The paint was nothing special, I just did the usual of stripping, prepping, spray painting and then laquer to protect. The parts are extremely rare so lateral thinking is usually your best friend. I've got a pretty bomb proof way of getting the lettering onto the brushed aluminum and I've found a business just down the road that does metal laser cutting so if I may treat myself and get that job externally. I have heard nothing from the 3D printing company so I have to chase them but that's part of the fun of the resto!!! The project feels like it's coming to an end because I can see solutions for most of the problems but we still have some time before it's truly finished. I can't wait to get this one finshed so I can start experimenting with the '75
