Yes! Colin 1, I should make up a turn table but of course I never get around to it as that is the only item I will spray this winter ... until next time. It would make it a lot easier, trying to poke a hand in to turn the piece of hardboard around with the shrouds raised off on wooden blocks wasn't easy and didn't help the result.
I only do cabinets on hot summer days and most metal work if needed. For this radio I needed to do the Xformer shrouds to move on with the chassis rewire. I shall certainly leave the gold sprayed valve cans until the summer.
Sand blasting was great when I had a place that would do it. It used to bring a rusty chassis up a treat and leave a nice surface to key the paint. Now days I avoid rusty chassis radio: I've done my share. This Ak with the nickel plating will need sunglasses when I've finished cleaning it. Will post a pic.
cheers Gary
