Atwater Kent 55C - she's singing again
#16

The chassis was pretty grungy when I got it and I was not optimistic about getting it cleaned up but Gojo and elbow grease seemed to work pretty well.  Here's the beginning of the process and then the chassis all back together.  You can see the repainting I still need to do on those rear cans.

One last item that I haven't seen before was an inspection ticket for the Kiel table that was still in the set when I got it.  Here's a pic..
