Default Re: Nordmende Transita Royal

Staining on the grey / body section of these scales is a problem with all these sets and their relatives i.e. even the late Transita 'Spezials' / 'Stradella's / 'Exports' etc. suffered from it. All mine have it to some extent - and it can only be cured by removing the scale and removing the adhesive-secured foam packing [which will doubtless worsen the problem] and then touching-up the missing grey body pigment with an exact match of benign paint.

(If and when you find this exact pigment match - send me a PM .... and I might attempt it!!)
