I used Scots Brite and Brasso to finish it high gloss, i must say it is a dirty job that takes a lot off time to get it like this so patience is the magic word

Nice work Evert
Did you use an etch primer, and is it car paint?
Looks as good as new again, well done.

Great work Evert and well worth the effort. I love that dial drag on the back - classic design.
