Restoring Philco 37-604C
#34

Ron

Here are the two of my jigs side by side. They have been with me about the same time (a couple of month difference possibly) and have been kept on the same shelf of the same stand all this time.

   

As you can see, they look fairly different. The bigger jig (I have just pulled it to put in the picture) look way bettrer, and has one dark spot which is, BTW, black, not brown, which indicates some different type of reaction. I guess, different type of steel.

This said, the rust is very superficial, no pitting.
The moisture in the workshop has never been really high, and now is even lower since they put the french drain, and after having faild to stop weeping, they also put a vapour barrier around.

Also I moved stereo out of the adjacent room with dehumidifier, which I kept close to keep the dehumidifier serving only that room, and now I have it open and it serves both that room and the workshop.
Also in the winter it is dried up by heating during the nighttime (the firnace is there, and so is a register in both roome), and in the summer by A/C, also during the night time (the cats live there, so they are locked during the night and so I run the furnace/AC).

But this said, in the workshop there have been no musty smell, I do not see anything else rusting/decomposing; this one was the only piece that showed the rust.
The only smell that is present in my basement is the smell of cardboard boxes, and I recently got rid of half of them (remember, I wrote about dealing with mice activity this August?), so it became much less pronounced.

Anywho, there is not anything superbad there. Green nefarious goo no longer drips on me off the ceiling, when I work there Icon_lol

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
