Restoring single parts ( or small batches as skills progress ) leaves one with continual visible progress, and parts on the shelf ready to go.
Thanks for the tip. I had actually considered the implications of getting carried away with tear down. I will try to do it in sections, and probably take some pictures before and during so that I can keep track of what goes where.
