Ford Badge, Plomb, Wood & Glass Shift Knobs, Ford V8 Badge & Heyco wrench (some before & after)
 |
| Someone attached a Ford radiator badge from a 1928 Model A onto a belt buckle. The way it was attached may have caused the damage to one corner. |
 |
| Drilled out these "rivets and removed the badge. |
 |
| Other than the one chipped corner, the badge isn't too bad a condition... Below is a picture I found on the net that shows what the badge looks like on a car. |

Miele brand Goose-neck for the Teledyne -- taking out the scratches on the top
 |
| The goose-neck has a scratched-up area on the top. Also, the rubber gasket is stretched and torn. |
 |
| Not the clearest picture but the area is pretty scratched. |
 |
| Trimmed the rubber gasket to the actual shape of the interface. Looks pretty clean and nice. Also started cleaning up the scratches by using a fine file. |
 |
| After more repeated filing. |
 |
| Still some more filing (there's still pits in the area). |
 |
| After filing is done.,, |
 |
| Used 1,000 grit wed/dry sand paper to get a fine finish. |
 |
| Last step was using fine steel wool to make the repaired area blend in better with the surrounding area. |
