Default Re: Another HMV Cavendish question

Hello, not sure what you mean by missing neon, but your Cavendish looks great. Did you strip and repaint the lot? Mine has the brown Bakelite top. I was at one point going to repaint the metal work, but it looks like enamel and not in such bad condition anyway. The innards clean and the motor completely stripped and re-lubed.

mine had been painted in black gloss all over this did strip off but the stripper would not touch original paint so had to be wet and dry paper to get it smooth the top was original painted but had been severely scratched, once smooth it was spray painted

on front at bottom mine should have had a neon to show it was powered this was damaged and incomplete so replace with switch to use with internal bulb (could not source correct neon to go in front still looking)
