    Awesome job. I have to say though… I was cringing when you were polishing that one up. I was so hoping you’d keep all that beautiful character and fire damage, including the dial. It was the coolest DJ I had ever seen all weathered and beaten up like that, and it would have made a great conversation piece. But I guess it would not have been a restoration then. Masterful work. Well done. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you!

      The hands were damaged by corrosion and the tritium gases. Not really a chance to restore the metal of the hands I think. Replacing Tritium lume is something I'm trying to avoid in general... The condition of the lume wasn't bad enough to remake it in my opinion 😉
