Winter Project Sets
#1

       
Hi everyone. First time posting here, and I'm back in the hobby for the first time since 1988! Here are two sets I'll be working on over the winter, a 1957 Golden D swivel model and a 1960 Bristol blond finish set. I'll post progress as it happens.

Thanks Gary! And tomorrow I'll edit out part of my post about my wanted items... I didn't see the rule before I posted.  Have a great evening.

You have a couple of very nice looking sets there! Lot's of knowledge here about restoring and getting those sets running.

TV MAN thanks. I look forward to seeing the progress on your Predicta as well. My flyback in the blond set (10L30 chassis) is in the same condition. I started flaking off the outer coating and it all basically fell off. When I brought it up on variac initially I had a small amount of arcing after a couple minutes so I shut it down right away. I don't see any carbon tracking so I believe I'll start with some corona dope and see what happens. I'm debating doing this and testing before I recap, I haven't decided on that yet.
