Hello,

thank you Wayne, it is not the laurel, but those little comments and perhaps questions are signs that there are people still interested.
@All: Don't be shy and ask me questions.


Tackling the improvements of current pick ups in the proven manner. Both groups got the same treatment.





Starting the repair of the bent and broken handrails. One of the turned handrail knobs was really broken in half and partly missed.
The rest was removed and the positions where parts will be soldered were cleaned to the bare brass.





In one of my grab boxes i found a similar handrail knob of unknown origin. This was cleaned and soldered in place. Then the bed handrails were straightened and bent into the correct shape.
The missing transverse handrail was formed out of a piece of 0.5mm brass wire.





The paint was partly damaged here. The loose flakes were removed, the parts cleaned and degreased with acetone. Later these were repainted by the means of a handbrush.
