No turning back now

[Garry Moore]

I guess 50 years of crud in here. Hope I can put it back together. Wish me luck.

[Joe Kaufman]

Good luck! I’m looking at doing something like this soon!

[Dan Kelly]

WOW! That thing has seen some action! It really has "provenance," or credibility.... or should I say, crud-ibility?

Good luck with the resto. I can imagine it will clean up beautifully.

Well, it’s slow going so far. I got 2 of the fingers clean. I’m using a ronsonol and a toothbrush. Some of this crud is really stuck on there. Almost like
Glue. I wonder if I can use a scotch brite?

[Dennis Brown]

I use carburetor cleaner. Sold by the gallon with a parts basket inside. Works on all your parts besides the changer.
These are always fun projects. I'm sure you'll make yourself proud of the end result.

That’s a cool idea. That thing kinda looks like a deep fryer for parts cleaning. Slowly getting there now. I can already tell a difference in just how freely these fingers pivot now. There was so much waxy gunk in there — no wonder it was sloppy.
