Too Far Gone

[Cantstopdigging]

Hello Forum,

I love finding old relics that are mechanical in nature, and I especially like when I can make them work again. Unfortunately these are too far gone. Thanks for looking!

It's still a nice relic. I like it. A little electrolysis might do some wonders on it.

Thats a museum grade restore! Your thread title doesn't make sense anymore you got a gem there. Makes me want to build a bigger electrolysis tank for my colonial iron stash I have in a steamer trunk my mother's garage in Virginia. What do you use as power source if you don't mind me asking?
