[GreenKeys] Teletype Model 33 ASR Restoration - Pedestals - UPDATE

[David Tumey via GreenKeys]

Keys,
A quick update on the pedestal restoration.  Not quite finished yet but I wanted to share some photos and contact information with the list for future reference.  I have 4 pedestals and 5 back panels undergoing complete finish restoration.  The parts are scheduled to be ready for pickup early next week and I should have the peds re-assembled by next weekend, I will send some photos of the finished product after everything goes back together.
Photo 1 - One of 4 original pedestals as received - If you put your teletype in a garage, damp basement or tool shed and leave it there for 20 years, this is what it will look like.  This part was in the "middle" one was in worse shape, and two were a little better but they all looked generally like this one.Photo 2 & 3 - After dip tank stripping (NEVER MEDIA BLAST - it will warp the metal - ask me how I know that).Photo 4 - Prep and Primer in the spray booth.  Always use a product like "Prep All" on bare metal before priming!Photo 5 & 6 - After color is applied.  I had the paint hand-matched as the computer matching was not close enough to original.  Also, this is a low-lustre paint finish like the original.
