Poor Dickel. 

How did that touch-up work out on the set where some stripper leaked through onto the top?

Great job interchanging all those parts. 

I remember that song but didn't realize it was Mark McCain (Johnny Crawford) singing it or that he was once a Mouseketeer.

Beautiful restore, I bet your daughter was thrilled.

Does Dickel attend your family gatherings or do you keep him locked away?
