Hello again folks,
Still working on my dp here and finally got the chuck off the shaft.
See the photo on my makeshift method!

Have a question at this point in the overhaul.
1. Just what color is this gray considered now days? I see a rustoleum machine gray is popular. Is that gloss, flat, dark or light?

2. Bodypaint is in pretty good shape but the base and table need paint. Was thinking of taking that table connector over to Home Depot get a match?

Also, FYI>>>in the “old radio restoration” world we use “Scrubbing Bubbles” and Eagle One “Never Dull” (automotive store) to clean and polish tuners, chassis and so on. I’m finding they work great on the handles and other “bright” stuff for this dp I’m working on.

Least but certainly not last.....a HUGE thank you to Frank for his tremendous work posting all those items on the dp’s. What a resource! Especially that latest one on the “spring winding”.
