Mind sharing what those "mistakes" were?

Know when I did the mono-valve plate, I didn't degrease it enough, so there is haze in the pores.

John, very cool! I like the Copy Cad, though not now of course! Squreback has a lot that needs recading, and last time I looked while in Sandy Eggo was no longer available. Plus, if one can find it, bet a few parts come to the same cost as the kit which I would figure do more than a few.
