Thanks for the nice words everyone ! ! !
I will be calling and bug you on some question when I get ready to do mine.
Anytime I can help, I will...
How long did each machine take to resore, start to finish?
Well... I didn't really keep track of my time as I did a little here and there as time permitted... But I would estimate it took approx. a month to six weeks of fiddling around...
Did you do the paint work yourself?
I did paint this machine myself using Hammerite Paint and since this is the same paint used on my Stoner Senior, I felt the extra practice yielded better results on the Junior. I find it a little difficult to get the "hammered" finish to be consistent on ALL surfaces, especially any vertical surfaces, but the planets were all aligned as was the sun & moon so I am very pleased with the overall finish...
