Re: Ahrens / Shefras Punchballs
Looking good so far. What a difference stripping off the old varnish.
I can`t help with the dials, sorry.
But thought you might like to see this one on ebay. Quite a project for someone!

Re: Re-chroming price hike
So far I have not had anything re chromed. I prefer it to look old. I think shiny new chrome looks odd on a 60 +
year old machine. It's all down to personal taste.

Re: Green Ray Television restoration
Artwork looks fantastic.
I thought you said this was going to be a long term project! You seem to be motoring through the jobs. I would probably still be at the thinking about it stage.

Re: Merry Christmas all
WISHING EVERYONE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Let`s hope we can all meet up at a real Auction in 2023.
I was rather amused by this vintage card, and thought I`d share it with you all. Santa looks rather malevolent to me, more like the child catcher!

Re: Green Ray Television restoration
Sounds like a plan!
Keep us informed. As you say, a long project, but so worth it.

Always happy to help if I can. The top 2 pictures are of my machine, before and during restoration. The bottom picture is one I've saved off the internet. Far too new and shiny for me
