Default Re: Refurbishment of Sugden Connoisseur Variable 3 Speed

Not sure about the enamelling theory. The attached 'photo is lifted from a thread last year about one these decks which was rescued from a skip. It's not conclusive evidence but it looks to me like you're dealing with paint rather than enamel. This could be good news because if it is paint it'll be much easier to strip the top plate back to bare metal and it should be possible to produce a decent enough finish with sprayed Hammerite. Hammerite thinners are not that hard to find at a price. With regard to the hole, unless you can weld (or know someone who can) I'd go for using car body filler supported by mesh.
