thought I would share a little restoration project I did.
Here is the before picture
Here are the after pics:
I totally disassembled it. Ordered a new badge, new nylon pads, and a new pivot ball from Starrett. Go figure, the parts cost more from Starrett than the beat up base did. I decided to upgrade the knobs to brass ones...........I have this thing about brass! Had it powder coated with black crinkle coat. Biggest pain was getting the proper areas masked off with heat tape. After that, it was pretty easy. Anyway, I thought you guys might enjoy this.
