Default Re: Leak troughline ll, first successful restoration.

I removed the fascia, which was tricky and required blutack on the end of a cocktail stick to hold a nut steady!

Holding it up to the light l could see lots of pinpoints, which I blotted out with Humbrol gold or maroon paint. The result was very good and you have to look closely to see the touch-up.

Then I cleaned up the gold background with meths and cotton buds before masking and drilling the hole for the stereo beacon and grommet. Also you can see, in the third picture, the wirewound resistor fitted to the scale lamp to increase longevity.
