That's what happen with the engine that Graham mentioned Roy. The engine would rotate forward, then get jammed, it would rotate backwards and also then get jammed. It was where the numpy that did the original repair had screwed through with what looked like a wood screw and it was fouling on a cog 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Always the same story with restorations. You spend 10% of your work fixing the ravages of time and 90% of your work fixing the damage caused by the shaved apes that previously owned it. ;D

I think I would be looking for a set of replacement cases rather than spend endless hours on that. You can butcher them open then to save the contents. Plus you know it's right on re-assembly.

Trigger:
Most of the cases i have repaired have been sandcastles and very early K0. You should easy find a set of K3 cases  ;)

royhall:
How did you get the sand-cast finish back Trig. Artistry at its best.

Johnny4428:
That was the easy bit, getting in! No further damage.
