more pics..
I've started fitting parts back into the cabinet. The tumbler got a real good workout over the weekend with all of the screws and small metal fittings and mechanisms from the cab, including the tilt mech pictured. I even gave the plywood tilt panel a sand and a couple of coats of clear while the parts were in the tumbler
and some pics of the knocker assembly, as well as the ventilation grille from the neck where the backbox sits.. this was a nice shade of rust so it was left to soak in Ranex overnight, then rinsed off and dried, and given a coat of etch primer, and finally sprayed with some dark grey Plasti-Kote brand hammer tone paint i found in Bunnings which seems to match the original shade of grey the grille was painted in well, which i found underneath where it mounted inside the neck opening when i removed it.. the only area not rusted.
I'm thinking i'll spray the legs in this colour as well
not sure if its the right colour or not, but im guessing the grey i found on the grille from the neck would've been the same colour the legs were done in... Thoughts please from someone who might know
the legs on this machine werent original, it had rusty chrome legs when i got it, 27 inch Gtb legs on the front and 28 1/2 inch in the rear.. i dont know at what stage of its life someone had put these on
