Microcimbali on the bench..

Waiting it's turn at bat?  

You are sharp for the end of the week.  I think Warrior said that Tiger-Ray, Mr PowderCoat, also polishes metal.  Warrior was talking about making that baby shine.

Shine is fine

And with as good a job as your paint looks a snazzy new updated color would really be cool eh?  8)

Yes. Ray said he can give aluminum a mirror finish. We will see . . . I might be able to as well with my toothbrush and that special hot rod compound recipe :) . The machine has a bunch of rusted bolts on it. What it has not yet realized is that resistance in futile and I am not extremely patient when it comes to rusted bolts.

Well then you probably missed that era.... Still "fight the good fight".  8)

I was either at the end of Jr high or just in High school.

Orphan espresso sells mothers mag for shining up aluminum, bought some, but haven't tried it out yet.

I prefer cloth buffing wheels & polishing compounds.

Gotta have some kind of coating for aluminum, too, to keep it from oxidizing almost instantly after polishing it.

The Microcimbali is getting tossed. After cleaning it up enough to give it a good look I noticed that it has a pin size hole through the boiler. Normally I would just solder it, but with the aluminum of these machines being so finicky I do not want to bother with it.
