Well said. I have seen many check book restorations in my day. I have taken great satisfaction in reviving as many old part as I possibly could with the real satisfaction being when some one with a reasonable degree of knowledge scrutinises your work and mistakes it for brand new factory parts rather than 40-50 year old ones with a lot of old fashoned hard yaka applied.
