Hello Ron. That was an excellent article.
There were a couple of things that I would like to have seen clarified. You mentioned that you used blue film that was the same color that Drake originally used but did not say what that color was. You also said that the film was available from several sources but you did not mention any of the sources and did not say where you get your film. Also you mention that using paint to touch up scratches would usually be more obvious than not painting the scratches but do not say what colors would match if you decided to try and cover the scratches. I know that there has been a lot of discussion on here about what paint and what colors match but I have not seen anything definitive. Thank you.

Actually I have been doing this since the mid 1970's. Several ham has asked me to put together an article on my refurbishing process. While on vacation this week I finally finished that article. It is now available with lots of pictures.
