Another nice restoration pal! At first when you wire brushed the axles, and showed the after results, I thought you were going to put text on the bottom of the screen saying "These are beyond repair. I make new ones." LOL, glad you could salvage them.

As much as I continue to be impressed with your resto skills, I'm equally amazed by your ability to keep finding pieces like this to work on! I would think they would be hard to source, since most people nowadays would probably assume anything that far gone was "trash". Also, do you have a "wish list" of certain ones you'd like to redo some day? Happy to keep an eye out for you.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

thanks! just goes to show that you truly can find anything on ebay lol. Can't think of anything that's on my bucket list to do, to me they are all rusty gold lol
